Weston Super Mare:
Weston-super-Mare is an old fashioned sea side town and is an ideal spot for a family holiday by the sea . The wide sweep of Weston Bay has miles of clean sandy beach, traditional seaside attractions and beautiful countryside and coastline to explore.
Despite the devastating fire on the Grand Pier, part of the pier is still open to visitors. As well as enjoying the attractions at the landward end of the pier, visitors can also walk along most of the length of the pier deck and see for themselves the effects of the fire on the pavilion building and the reconstruction works.
Weston beach has a designated area for kite buggies, small land yachts and kite boards, while jet skiers, power boat users and other boats can launch from Knightstone slipway. There are also boat trips around Weston Bay and further afield. Contact Weston Tourist Information Centre for details.
