Bowleaze Cove

Bowleaze Cove is a small sand and shingle beach, near the village of Preston, just to the northeast of Weymouth, Dorset, England.

The beach is made up of mainly shingle and shell with some sandy areas.

A small pier divides the beach near the River Jordan outflow.

In 1816–17, the artist John Constable painted Weymouth Bay: Bowleaze Cove and Jordon Hill while on his honeymoon.

[2] The Riviera Hotel, a Grade II listed Spanish-style 1930s building is on the cove.
