Where to go
Weston-Super-Mare offers a fine, golden sandy beach and a wealth of traditional seaside amusements, not least on its Grand Pier. However, not all the best bits are on the seafront. A little inland is the Helicopter Museum, where fans of all things with rotor blades can see various historic models and see flying demonstrations.

Eating and drinking

Things to do
The simplest of seaside fun can be enjoyed on the beach with a bucket and spade, but there is plenty more to do too. Brean Theme Park lies just south of the town and includes loads of free rides, while on a wet day the Weston-Super-Mare museum is well worth seeing.
