Disgruntled holidaymakers have vowed never to visit a 'smelly' beach again after it left children in tears.
A huge "seaweed barrier" on Weymouth coastline in Dorset has put tourists off the famous beauty spot, with many left "disappointed" by the "unsightly" algae, Dorset Live reports.
The mass of seaweed recently washed up on the golden sands near the pavilion, however the sunny weather has caused the kelp to dry out. The rotting piles emit a "disgusting smell", with swarms of flies circling the mounds.
