Weston Bay

It lies between Brean Down, which is now owned by the National Trust, is rich in wildlife, history and archaeology, and has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest[1] to the south, and Worlebury Hill to the north.

[2] Weston Woods, which cover a large part of the hill top, were awarded a Planting Places Award in a scheme run by Sustainability South West to celebrate "brilliant examples of urban greenspaces" on 6 March 2008.

The grade II* listed Birnbeck Pier was designed by Eugenius Birch and opened in 1867.

[4] The early 20th century Grand Pier, is supported by 600 iron piles, and is 400 metres (1,300 ft) long.

Although the beach itself is sandy, further seawards the shore is thick mud, which is very dangerous to walk in and is crossed by the mouth of the River Axe.
