We're off to Somerset at the end of the week, staying near Wells which according to Google Maps is about 1hr drive to Weston-Super-Mare. So we'd like to do a day-trip to the coast but have no idea where to aim for. Somewhere preferably away from the crowds but a decent lunch/pub lunch and a stroll on the beach would be nice.

WSM looks downright uninviting (:confused: ?) so I'm hoping to find a smaller town/village nearby where we can pit-stop, grab some food then head to a random stretch of beach rather than being stuck near a big town with all the other tourists.

Any ideas? Thanks :)

Minehead is OK with some stuff to do and some OK places to eat, etc. but can be hit and miss for crowds.

Hmn well Minehead is almost double the driving time than somewhere close to WSM. What about Burnham on Sea and the surrounds?

Is WSM that bad? :)

However there is some nice walks. You've got cheddar trails/strawberry line etc.. beach wise I'd personally go down the coast, the further down you go the cleaner the water, it's all brown and full of **** here.

Thanks I'll have a look at those. If there's nothing worth seeing but the walks are ok we can always take some packup and do that instead. And does the terrible water quality go for going north of WSM towards Bristol? Nothing worth investigating up that way?

I thought WSM was well known for being a bit of a ****hole.

I thought it was, but I wanted to check :p
 
We did the cheddar gorge circular this time last year. But didn't get across to the seaside hence trying this trip. Do t get me wrong, we're staying in the Mendips and will also have a day out there walking etc.

Thanks @Brizzles for all the notes, that sounds decent enough for us but we'll see where we end up :)
