A huge 'seaweed barrier' on Weymouth coastline in Dorset has put tourists off the famous beauty spot.
Disgruntled holidaymakers have vowed never to visit a 'smelly' beach again after it left children in tears.
The mass can be spotted from a significant distance away, including on the popular beach live stream, with many visitors being forced to steer clear of the area. As a result, many unimpressed tourists have left scathing reviews on the attraction’s Tripadvisor page, with several complaints about “smelly, slimy Weymouth beach” and the “unpleasant” seaweed.
“The vast quantities of wet and drying piles of seaweed which had to be walked over if you want to get to the sea. Saw children crying as they didn't like walking on it and the days of seeing clear blue clean water where, if you were lucky you could see shoals of baby fish, have gone.Another reviewers compared the seaweed to a "huge cowpat". They wrote: “The sea is brown because it is full of small pieces of seaweed that is washing ashore.
Another visitor, from Nottinghamshire, said he was left shocked by the state of the "wonderful sandy beach" on his sixth and most recent trip to Weymouth. He said: “This year, however, its appeal was somewhat diminished due to the state of the sand. One person told Dorset Live: “Seaweed is very natural and I am sure it often washes up on the beach. But it smells, there are flies around it and people are avoiding it. I think it should be removed by workers before it gets worse and puts off people coming to Weymouth”.
A spokeswoman for Weymouth Town Council said: “We are aware of recent comments about seaweed on a small area of our award-winning beach. Occasionally north easterly winds result in seaweed being washed up on the southern section of the beach. We appreciate that the seaweed might be unsightly until it is washed back out into the bay but as caretakers of this beautiful and diverse coastal environment, we have made a conscious decision not to routinely remove any animals or plants.
