This here is my local beach, Weston Shore. (There’s a fantastic description of the place on the brilliant website Nothing To See Here).
If you’ve ever caught to the ferry to the Isle of Wight you’ll have passed it; lined by a row of brutalist tower blocks. Your attention may have been drawn to the other side of the water though, where you are treated to the delights of Fawley power station and the oil refinery.
You won’t find this place on any tourist map or any postcards (I don’t think so anyway… surely not). I secretly love it there though; it doesn’t appeal to everyone so it’s a bit of a hidden gem; untroubled by the regular seasidey paraphenalia. It might be bleak but it’s interesting.
