Castletown

Castletown, once the gateway to the Naval Dockyard, is today the hub of a rejuvinated area and in the heart of a thriving leisure and watersports industry with plenty of history on hand too. Diving companies, diving shops, Portland Marina with its 560 berths, Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy and SailLaser Weymouth and a short walk further Kitesurfing shop and tuition, wetsuit and drysuit shop, chandlers and one or two places to purchase a yacht!

Whilst all this new development has gone on the history of the area has thankfully remained. Portland Castle is in the heart of Castletown and remains an impressive site. You naturally have Portland Harbour on your doorstep and a strenuous walk up the hill will take you to the High Angle Battery.
