Mares X-Vision

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful day out.
Disadvantages: Too many people on the routes there in the Summer.

...I thought I'd write a Weston-Super-Mare review since my husband and I took our little ones there today for a spot of sandcastle building. As we only live 15 minutes away, down the M5, it's a place I have frequented throughout my life. My Grandparents live in Worle which is just off the motorway on the way in to Weston, and always took us to the seafront in the Summer, so this is the place I shall start. THE SEA FRONT Weston-Super-Mare is in North Somerset (previously Avon). Weston-sur-la-mer (on-the-sea) became Weston-Super-Mare for obvious reasons... our tangled evolution of language! I suppose it is sort of on-the-sea, but is really on the Severn Estuary. This means that there is a lot of mud washing up and down! We often, jokingly call it Weston-Super-Mud! At Weston, the beach is very very long and expansive... Read review

Advantages: variety of activities and nice food
Disadvantages: a bit isolated

...We stayed in a villa @ Belle Mare Plage for our honeymoon. The accomodation was amazing and the facilities, bars, restaurants, everything was fab. The food is fantastic, the buffets are lovely, every food you could possibly imagine! There are free watersports inc waterskiing, pedalos, glass bottom boat ride and snorkelling - the snorkelling was excellent, loads of fish on the reefs. Ther is a gym with various classes including yoga and a spa which did a great massage.The only down side to the hotel is that it is isolated, there is a town nearby that you can walk/cycle to but it's quite a trek, other than that its a taxi ride anywhere so you are pretty much stuck in the hotel on a night, they do have entertainment, dancers or a live band. We are saving up to go back asap! Highly recommended, a brilliant holiday.... Read review

Advantages: Good Flat Prom - Easy for walking...
Disadvantages: Sea was no where to be seen.

...Well a day out to the seaside was needed. So thats what we did, packed the car and headed to Weston Super MAre, Located off the M5, below Bristol, and above Exeter, it is is easy to get to by car. Followed the signs to PARKING on the BEACH, and ended up down by the sea front, drove along the front past the Grand Pier, and into a carpark £1.00 an hour (gulp) There is plenty to do at Weston, we enjoy walking along the Prom, and up the pier. There are loads of amusments arcades, tea shops, ice cream stands, and chippies. The Beach was nice and clean, in fact the whole place was clean and tidy. They have a land train that was operating, and the RNLI gift shop was open. Plenty of guest houses and B&B line the streets, and loads of clubs and pubs line the Prom. The high street and shopping centre have every high street shop you... Read review
