“Better than it looks but it looks terrible”
by Kevin A – June 2025

Weston has an OK beachfront, but as its on an estuary it's more muddy than sandy. However, the walk is enjoyable and there is a Pier. Beyond the beach there is not a huge amount to see or do but things are slowly improving.

“Gets a Bad Rep”
by Steve – June 2025

It's fair to say Weston doesn't have an inviting glimmering blue sea, or a tropical coastline, but I like it. It's always very easy to park, the promenade is great for a walk, the pier is always a fun day out, and there are plenty of places to eat from chips shops, to pubs and restaurants.
