The only thing to mention really is the straigh across the water to Portland from Weymouth gets pretty windy sometimes with crosswinds. Its worth it though nice views up on Portland Bill.

You come in to Dorchester on the A354 then go back to poole the way you are on about, you could do that both ways but you would be doubling back on yourself a bit.
