Top 5 things to do near Weymouth Bay, Seaview, and on the parks
Doug Nye is General Manager at Weymouth Bay and Seaview Holiday Parks in Dorset, both of which are nestled in the hillside along the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO world heritage site, with access to a brilliant beach.
The parks are a 10-minute walk apart and share a range of food and drink facilities, with separate pools, activity and entertainment venues. With some exciting new activities installed recently, read on for Doug’s tips on the very best things to do when visiting the parks.
1. Try out Weymouth Bay’s activities
We've introduced a Jump Tower and Climbing Wall, a Mini Aerial Adventure low ropes course and an Aerial Adventure high ropes course, bike hire, and the outdoor Box Bar, which is proving really really popular.
We’re really excited to have a full year with our new activities. We are constantly looking at what we can do to bring more activities to the parks.
These add to our existing archery range and Ranger activities, which are very popular and can be accessed when you have a play pass included in your break.
2. Explore the beautiful surroundings
One of the best things about Weymouth Bay and Seaview is their location. We are near Bowleaze Cove and once you walk over Bowleaze Hill you’re onto the beach. You can also actually walk into Weymouth town from here - it’d probably take you about 30-40 minutes along the seaside.
We're in a great location, surrounded by rolling hills and right by the beach. We're really well located for exploring the beautiful Jurassic Coast, a 93-mile stretch. You could even go fossil hunting in nearby Lyme Regis.
3. Enjoy the entertainment
Each park has its own dedicated entertainment team, who can't wait to welcome guests on park, and its own dedicated entertainment venue. With the new Seaside Squad cast also comes a range of brilliant new shows, and you'll also catch the cast out-and-about on the parks for meet-and-greet opportunities.
4. Take a dip
Each park has its own indoor and outdoor pool, and you can access the pools at the park you’re booked to stay on. At Weymouth Bay we have a lazy river in our pool area, which is just perfect for families.
5. See Durdle Door and Chesil Beach
We’re on the Jurassic coastline, a UNESCO world heritage site, which is one of the main draws in this area. We’re near Durdle Door, a big stone arch monument, which really sets the landscape apart. A 20-minute drive away is Chesil Beach, an iconic Dorset landmark with a shingle beach that's 18 miles long, and stretches all the way from Portland to West Bay.
What do you love about Weymouth Bay and Seaview?
We’re unique in that we are one team that manages two parks, and I think people are surprised that we’ve got two parks so close together. Both parks' major draws are their proximity to the beach, the fact we’re on the Jurassic coastline, and all of the exciting new activities we get to share with everyone.

Let2offset - make no site fee payments until 2031
Let2offset is a contractual lettings product that offers eligible owners a guaranteed letting income at a preferential rate (calculated each year) in exchange for a stipulated number of letting breaks. It also allows eligible owners to pay their site fees and receive their letting income in 12 equal monthly instalments; the monthly site fee amount charged by Haven will be after deduction of the letting income.
‘Make no site fee payments when using Let2offset until 2031’ is available at 33 Haven parks excluding Burnham, Cardigan View, Far Grange, Garreg Wen, Lydstep Beach, Riviere Sands and Seaview. The letting income received will vary by make, model and location. The monthly site fee payment does not include running costs e.g. utilities, rates & insurance.
“Make no site fee payments when using Let2offset until 2031” is applicable to new and existing customer purchases of new Atlas Sahara 3 Bed or equivalent or superior grade holiday home purchases made through Haven where customers have also signed up to Haven’s Let2offset contract. It is not applicable to private sales and cannot be used in conjunction with our free Site Fee promotion. It is available across 40% of eligible Parks and applies when letting a new Atlas Sahara 3 Bed holiday home (or equivalent or superior grade for 15 weeks.
An example of how “Make no site fee payments when using Let2offset until 2031” operates under Let2offset is the purchase of an Atlas Sahara 3 Bed holiday home at Primrose Valley with a monthly site fee of £585.00 (includes purchasing discount of £45) and monthly letting income of £803.67. The monthly difference equates to £218.67, which will be credited to the owner's account. Both letting income and site fees are subject to yearly pricing reviews and the monthly site fee costs and letting income shown in the example are based on 2024 figures.
Modelled assumptions on expected annual site fee and letting income charges over the 7-year lettable life of the Atlas Sahara 3 Bed indicate that under Let2offset it is anticipated that these customers will continue to receive a monthly credit during this period, however, this is not guaranteed. The modelled assumptions are based on the historical performance of Haven over the past 5 years of trading.
