Getting Here

Directions by road

From the east and west follow the A35 to Dorchester, from the north west it’s the A37 you need. At Dorchester take the A354 towards Weymouth, follow this through Weymouth, signposted for Portland. Once across Portland Beach Road (the causeway) at the first roundabout take the first exit signposted Weymouth and Portland Sailing Academy. Drive past the Academy and take the first exit at the mini roundabout. Follow the road into the marina and park in the car park on the left (berth holders only) or main car park in front of the Dry Stack building (visitors and contractors).

Getting here by train

There’s a direct train from London to Weymouth train station which is in the heart of the town and 5 minutes walk to our sister marina in Weymouth. From the station you can take a taxi or the number 1 bus to Portland.

If you’d like to stretch your legs, the Rodwell trail is 5km on pedestrian paths. From the station walk right across the bridge and take the underpass under the main road. Follow the footpath up and left onto the trail and then keep walking until you pop out at Ferry Bridge on the mainland side of the causeway. Stay on the left hand side of the road and follow the path along Hamm Beach until you get to Lidl and then follow the pavement left at the roundabout and past the WPNSA until you arrive in the marina!

In summer there’s also a ferry which runs from Brewers Quay in Weymouth (south side of the town bridge) to Portland Marina. However, this has not been able to run due to Covid-19 so please check with the marina as to whether the ferry is running. Bad weather may also stop this service.
