Description: There has been a public outcry after Weston-super-Mare was voted among the worst seaside towns in the UK.

It was the second-least popular location on the list by Which? consumer watchdog, prompting locals to clash on social media, citing the pros and cons of the coastal resort.

Over 4,000 people were surveyed about their recent trips to seaside towns and resorts and ratings were based on beaches, attractions, value for money, peace and quiet, and scenery.

While Bamburgh, Northumberland bagged the top spot, Somerset’s most famous resort missed the mark and Skegness in Lincolnshire came bottom of the table.

Weston-super-Mare scored an average customer rating of just 55 per cent, with one-star ratings for scenery and value for money.

Visitor ratings for beaches, attractions and peace and quiet were two stars, and the average hotel price was listed as £72 per night.
