Where the Blokarts and surfers have their fun
At the southern end of Weston-super-Mare Beach, the Windzone has become one of the most exciting places in the UK to simply stand and watch the wind and kite surfers in action when the breeze whips up.
When the tides align, this stretch of beach transforms into a spectacular playground for windsport enthusiasts which transforms Weston’s skyline into a sea of colour and thrill seekers. It doesn’t happen every day but when it does, it is unforgettable – a spectacular unscripted sporting drama.
A spectacular free show
There are no fixed shows or set times. No ticket booths, or online booking — just the elements, the landscape, and dare-devil sports people combining to put on a spectacular free show that is irresistible to watch — every gust bringing another leap, another burst of colour, another reason to stay and watch.
More details
Welcome to the Windzone—Weston’s open-air arena of wind, motion and spectacle – a natural show powered by the wind.
A skyline transformed into a sea of colour
When the wind builds, this landscape transforms into one of the most exhilarating sights on the Somerset coast. It gives Weston a skyline like nowhere else: one made entirely of wind, motion, height and colourful sails.
- Kitesurfers catapault high into the sky, catching air in dramatic, gravity-defying jumps
- Windsurfers and wingfoilers carve across the water at speed
- And on selected weekends, blokarts appear—racing across the sand at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour in wind-powered three-wheeled carts
You will see the area the Blokarters race in, it is marked out by a series of wooden poles in the sand.
You don’t need to take part to feel the thrill — this is a spectacle best enjoyed with your feet on the sand and your eyes on the skyline.
You might just be watching a former world Champion
Keep your eyes peeled because you never know who you might spot here.
Windsurfer Zara Davis – a former double world-record – is a Windzone regular and many of the Blokarters have competed at international level.
A beach made for wandering
The Windzone isn’t just about adrenaline — it’s part of one of the most rewarding beach walks on the Somerset coast.
From the Grand Pier, you can stroll south along the wide, open sands towards Uphill Beach, passing through an ever-changing landscape of sky, sea and sand.
Behind the Windzone, natural sand dunes rise gently, with Weston-super-Mare Golf Club stretching out beyond — adding to the feeling of space and escape.
A dog walker’s paradise
This southern stretch of beach is also one of the best places in the area to walk your dog.
With expansive sands and fewer restrictions, it’s perfect for long, relaxed walks. Continue on to Uphill Beach and you’ll discover a quieter, more secluded atmosphere that has long been a local favourite.
In fact, this area gained national attention in 2023 when a leading holiday company named it one of the UK’s top dog walking beaches — helping it rack up more than 23 million views on TikTok.
A place worth timing right
Catch it right, and you’ll see Weston at its most energetic.
Miss it, and you’ll still have one of the best coastal walks in Somerset.
