How to Find Weston-Super-Mare

 Head towards the seafront at Weston-Super-Mare, this can be accessed from the A370 off the main M5. Once you reach the seafront, follow the road Northwards keeping left all the time along the seaward side.

 You will eventually reach a toll Road (at a sharp left turn), again keeping left, take this toll road and follow it round the seaward side. It will eventually take you to a car park at 'Middle Hope'.

 Park here and walk West towards the salt marsh and coast. The salt marsh footpath can be quite boggy, follow all the way until the foreshore changes from marsh to rocks and this is where the beds start. The best beds are further round 'Sand Point', at 'Middle Hope'.

 At sand point, this can be a very difficult terrain to cross, if you prefer from the car park, walk up the footpath northwards up the cliff top and follow the path all the way round until it dips near Middle Hope where you can also gain access to the beach.
