Nowadays not much of anything, except fishing boats and yachties, but the bay makes for a pleasant anchorage at this time of year.
I wouldn’t bother with Portland Port - they want to charge loads of dosh for everything, They would even charge people for swimming if they could get away with it.

put in to Weymouth back in the early 60,s with a TID tug. Moored up not far from the bridge. went ashore with the skipper (my Father). we went into a couple of pubs there. double scotches with a worthington chaser (father being a scot from Aberdeen). Both nissed as pewts holding each other up. Next morning with a hangover we had to tow 2 pontoons to cowes. Never forget Weymouth.
