Sand Bay Beach

About

Sand Bay is a long, expanse of sand and shingle, lying just 2 miles north of Weston-super-Mare, and across the Bristol Channel from South Wales. Popular with both beachcombers and horse riders due to it being long and flat.

Just a few minutes away from busy Weston-super-Mare, and is the perfect place to visit with family and dogs whilst in Weston-super-Mare. It can be easily visited on the open-topped buses taking the scenic route on the coast road. All buses are fine with dogs. Sand Bay is often referred to as "Weston-super-Mare's hidden gem". With many quaint and welcoming tea rooms and cafes including the Sand Bay Tea Rooms near to the bus terminus is welcoming and prepares lovely food (dogs are welcome), at the far end there are lovely walks and a car park visited by an ice cream van. At the town end is the Commodore Hotel which has recently started allowing dogs into its bar. The beach is totally dog-friendly and there are four free car parks along its length. Country View Holiday Park is the ideal location to stay with your touring caravan or tent to explore the Sand Bay and Weston-super-Mare area.
