Weston Hard Woolston — Attraction in Southampton

Massively underutilised beach front,could be a great attraction, still a nice place for fishing if ABP stop dredging and the government and the Ministry of agriculture and fisheries put proper fish protection in the solent and rivers.

The water should probably not be swam in.

Parking is free...
