Name: Fantastic spot for a family outing. There's free parking and plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. You can pedal around the pond in a flamingo, let the kids enjoy the trampolines, feed the ducks, and explore a large play park and skate park. Take a stroll along the waterfront and check out the outdoor gym equipment. There's also a Lido, which we might try on our next visit! You could easily spend an entire day here. The café was excellent for lunch and offered reasonable prices.

Weston Super Mare Beach

6 Nashua

This stunning beach boasts a charming blend of old stone architecture and modern design. Parking is conveniently available on the sandy shore, and visitors can look forward to experiencing one of the largest tidal ranges in the South of England. Located near the M5, this beach is easily accessible and perfect for a day trip or weekend getaway.

Sand Bay Beach

The strong tide is ruining our enjoyment. We had planned to stay, but since there is no water nearby, we have decided to go to the lake instead. We couldn't find any parking nearby.
