Here’s a guide to some of the best things to see, eat, and do when staying at Bowleaze Cove Holiday Park & Spa.
By the Coast - Sea Access & Coastal Vibes
Bowleaze Cove Holiday Park & Spa sits right on the beach, giving you direct access to sea, sand and sweeping views of Weymouth Bay and the Jurassic Coast.
Fancy a walk along the shoreline, paddling in the shallows, or just relaxing with the sound of waves and sea breeze? It’s all on your doorstep. The nearby waters also present watersports hire options - paddleboards, kayaks and more - ideal for those who want to get active by the sea.
Southside Funfair & Southside Green - Classic Seaside Entertainment
Right on park is Southside Funfair, Arcade & Soft Play - classic funfair rides like dodgems, ghost train, trampolines, helter-skelter and teacups, making it a go-to for kids and thrill-seekers alike.
Adjacent to that is Southside Green - a chill, beachside social hub with deckchairs, big-screen sport, and fantastic sea views. Parents can relax with a drink while kids play nearby, or catch a match in a truly unique setting.
Eat & Drink - Delightful Dining & Drinks for Every Mood
You won’t have to leave the park to satisfy your cravings. Bowleaze Cove offers a variety of venues for food, drink and laid-back beachside indulgence. Highlights include:
- Southside Bar & Grill - a modern restaurant with indoor and al-fresco seating, serving dishes using local product. Great for lunches, dinners or relaxed family meals.
- Drift Bar & Grill - walk-in dining with panoramic sea views and relaxed vibes. A lovely spot for a meal with friends or family.
- The Shack - a chilled beach-side bar for beers, cocktails or coffee, ideal for laid-back beach afternoons.
- The Doghouse - takeaway-style comfort food, perfect between activities or a beach stroll.
- The Frostbite - ice creams, waffles, milkshakes and treats to round off the day (or make a sunny one even better).
- The Sports Bar - for all-day food, Costa Coffee by day, pool tables and live sport; a relaxed environment for families and friends, come rain or shine. It also includes indoor soft play for younger guests.
- Waterside Takeaway - for nights when you just want to relax in your holiday home, offering fish & chips, stone-baked pizzas and more - all available for delivery straight to your accommodation.
With this variety and more, you can switch from a beach-side cocktail to a family dinner, or grab a quick takeaway for your group - all without leaving the park.
