WHERE TO WATCH                     

WESTON BAY

Weston-super-Mare (Weston) & Sand Point

The Weston site extends from Sand Point, southwards through Sand Bay and Weston-super-Mare seafront to the river Axe estuary near Brean Down, a distance of about 12kms. The main vantage points are located at Sand Point headland, including the nearby Middle Hope nature reserve,  Weston sewage treatment works and the nearby  river Axe estuary.

Sand Point is a rocky limestone headland which juts out into the Bristol Channel and is one of our best sites for seeing for spring and autumn migrants. During strong south-westerly winds, it is also one of our best sea-watching sites too.

The muddy Axe Estuary and nearby Weston sewage treatment works are the best places to see waders and other shorebirds. The coastal fields and scrub here also hold many migrant birds on passage through the area.
