The Beach is about one and a half miles long, commencing at
the mouth of the River Axe at
Uphill, to the south, and ending at Birnbeck Island
to the north.
Uphill Beach, Weston Super Mare.
The beach is
much like Brean and Berrow, being sand/mud and relatively shallow. The River
Axe
enters the sea at Uphill which concentrates Silver Eels and Bass at that end.
Flounders are
also caught, along with the occasional Conger. During winter Cod,
Codling and Whiting are the
main targets. Bass also occasionally turn up. This
is a high-water mark only, as the tide goes
out well over a mile.
The beach is a popular competition venue for local clubs,
so check the competition page.
Parking is easy, either on the road or on the beach itself.
Make sure you have bought your
tickets, if needed, as the wardens are very keen!
There are two piers at WSM. Angling is not permitted on the
Grand Pier, and only club members
can fish from the Birnbeck Pier.
Birnbeck Pier
Easy fishing into deeper water is available at Knightstone,
next to the quay. There are even
shelters to sit in. Good shore Conger are
caught here frequently.
Lugworms are a plenty on the beach, mainly at the central
and northern sections.
