A once beautiful West Country beach that was bustling with holidaymakers has been marred by an unwelcome invader.
The coast of Weymouth, Dorset, once celebrated for its "breathtaking scenery", is a shell of its former self according to some visitors and locals, with reeking seaweed plaguing the seafront.
While many argue there is still plenty to do at Weymouth Beach, the endless rotting seaweed is causing havoc for locals and businesses as tourists vow to never return - seeing their heartfelt memories "shattered" of their "favourite seaside town".
