Overcombe Beach, Weymouth Live Cam

This camera looks out over the wide shingle beach at Overcombe, on the eastern side of Weymouth Bay in Dorset, from the seawall promenade. The wide-angle view takes in dinghies and kayaks stored on the shingle, a mast flying a flag and a pile of large rocks.

Overcombe is a quieter part of the roughly three-mile beach around Weymouth Bay, a short walk west of Bowleaze Cove. The wide shingle is a base for sailing and other water sports, and the Isle of Portland appears as a flat-topped ridge on the horizon at the right.

The camera is fixed and faces south-east over the bay, so around midday the sun stands almost straight ahead of the lens. Below the promenade wall a row of upturned boats lies on the stones, and a roll-out access mat leads across the shingle towards the sea. Boards with foils are laid out by the water.
