Great place for free parking if you get here early enough

The Oasis Café is your ultimate beachfront "pit stop" at Preston Beach. Forget fancy—think hearty breakfasts, fresh crab sandwiches, and epic views of the Jurassic Coast. It’s the perfect place to watch the waves crash while you tackle a massive slice of cake. Sandy paws and salty hair are definitely welcome!

f Weymouth’s main beach is the loud, fun party, Greenhill Gardens is the sophisticated VIP lounge just up the road. This award-winning floral wonderland is famous for its massive Floral Clock (which actually keeps time!) and its vibrant "wish you were here" flowerbeds. It’s the ultimate spot to escape the "sand-in-your-sandwiches" chaos. You can challenge your friends to a round of putting, grab a classic 99 flake at the beach café, or just snag a bench and watch the sailboats drift across the bay. It’s pure, colorful, old-school seaside magic without the seagulls stealing your chips!

Lovely gardens. Take a rest from the seaside. Not always sunny though. https://www.weymouthtowncouncil.gov.uk/services/parks-gardens/greenhill-gardens/
