I'm sure I'd give more stars if I liked this sort of place, I live nearby and my son and granddaughter do like a tuppenny arcade... so off we went in the lovely November sunshine, ignoring the beach, which looked super to me passing the larger arcade, which looked very tatty, to the stubby pier. Oh so not my idea of fun but it was beautifully clean and the staff were lovely, the offspring had a lovely time wasting money 😉 and then to the beach? Oh so very no, the sky opened up and we got mega soaked, the roads ran like small rivers... and yes I am laughing at it now, what sort of a fool goes to the seaside at this time of year... us! The pic us of our prized writing a letter of complaint to the weather gods 😆

Absolutely fantastic place to visit with family or just as a couple. Tide was out so couldn't go for a dip in the sea. Some lovely shops to visit. Friendly staff around to help. When we went, there was a classic car show going on. Certain roads were closed. Fish and chip shops available. There's a boot, superdrug, barbers, bakery, jewelry shops. B&M just as you park up in the car park. £5.50 for the whole day to park. Litter free beach, life guards around. Arcade on the pier was better than the arcade on the sea front. More machines giving out tickets, better prizes. Also, burger place, ice cream place right next to the arcade on the pier. Lovely drive down, can either do motorway or scenic route.

Not as busy as Weston but still has a Weston vibe...tide was low when we got there sea wasn't anywhere on sight, lots of rubbish on the beach and we witnessed a girl cut her foot in a piece of glass hidden on the puddles left behind by the sea. Spent a couple of hours under the pier as there's no shade anywhere else, and it was a heat wave day, just careful not to get injured really. Can't say we were enticed to come back.. There is ample parking right across the beach close to high street and lots of shops and cafes are within 10 minute walk.

Visited over the bank holiday, not at all crowded, only busy around the pier (v. small with arcades and food outlets). Walked along the promenade towards the lighthouse ( small wooden structure rather than a traditional type lighthouse). Here dogs are allowed on the beach all year round. Locals leave dog bowls with water on the pavement near the entrance to this part of the beach. Wide flat expanse of fine sand, great for walking or flying a kite. Nice ice cream from the kiosk on the pier on the way back.

Old fashioned seaside town and we love that. Beach is clean and very long, the tide runs very fast so going in the sea is not recommended at low tide. No dogs on the beach from May to September. We have paddle boarded from the light house end at high tide into the sunset which was stunning. Plenty of parking round and about and during the winter the esplanade road parking is free. Nice for a walk, paddle (at the right time) and plenty of places to grab a bite. Some great quirky shops, so have a wander.

The weather wasn't really on our side, not particularly warm and a chilly sea breeze. For us, that only meant it was nice and quiet and still ideal for our little ones. Plenty of reasonably priced parking close by, We made use of the little arcade on the peer but didn't see much more to do besides eateries and a second arcade. Overall, it is a quieter (and cheaper) experience than our visit to the seafront at Weston-super-Mare but would be nice to see a little more investment to keep people going back.
