Disappointed tourists have vowed never to return to a 'smelly' West Country beach as kids were left in tears. A large “seaweed barrier” on Weymouth coastline has put visitors off the famous attraction.
A mass of seaweed has washed up on the famous golden sands and created a carpet of kelp on a section of the beach near the Pavilion. But the sheer mass of the seaweed and warm temperatures have caused the kelp to dry, rot and emit a “disgusting smell”, with flies swarming the piles of kelp.
It can be seen from a distance away, including on the popular beach webcam, and tourists are avoiding pitching up near the kelp or walking through it, reports Dorset Live.
