Public Toilets in Weston-super-Mare

Everything you wanted to know about toilets and more
There are several public toilets in Weston-super-Mare along the seafront, in the town centre and in the parks. See our map below for the full guide.

There is a charge of 30p per person, per visit to use them. You can pay with five pence pieces, ten pence pieces or 20 pence coins. The machines do not give change.

You can also pay with a contactless card at the Tropicana, The Atlantic and The Victorian Café blocks. The latter two are also staffed facilities and the attendant will give change, providing you are not exchanging notes.

All the seafront toilets offer baby changing facilities and the majority are suitable for disabled users.

For baby changing, the Royal Sands has male and female facilities. The Atlantic has the facilities in the ladies and unisex block, while at the Victorian Café, they are situated in the ladies and disabled toilets. At Marine Lake they are found in the unisex toilets.
