With almost 200 years experience of seaside holiday traditions Weston-super-Mare is proof that the traditional seaside holiday is alive and well, and here to stay. With all the right ingredients for a great holiday, whatever your age. From the beach with its miles of golden sand, sea, the Grand Pier; The Prom, colourful seafront stalls, boat trips around the bay, decks chairs and not forgetting those famous donkeys, originally used to bring in the nets from the fishing boats.
Every morning there is a band of people already hard at work on the beach, making sure that every foot is raked clean, ready to welcome the day's holiday makers. At its southern end the beach is bordered by rolling sand dunes, while up towards Anchor Head it changes to rocky outcrops and hidden rock pools to explore. At Madeira Cove you'll find the Marine Lake, where the tide is always in. On the seafront is the Grand Pier, which has been a delight to visitors for nearly 100 years, take a stroll to the end of it and find haunted and crazy houses, dodgems, go karts, a big wheel and plenty of refreshments and snacks.
There's something to amuse every member of the family.
