Weston-super-Mare Uphill Slipway is situated on the Somerset coast, overlooking the Bristol Channel, and is approximately 1.2 kilometres wide. The beach is next to the mouth of the River Axe and has a sandy shoreline, although the Bristol Channel's large tidal range can expose mud at low water.
Uphill beach is a world apart from the main Weston-super-Mare seaside resort, with fewer facilities available. However, the beach offers parking on the beach itself, as well as expansive sandy areas. The River Axe flows out to sea at Uphill, and behind the beach lies Uphill Local Nature Reserve, which features an abundance of wildlife and a tower with great views of the beach and coast below.
Uphill beach shares similarities with Brean beach, located on the far side of Brean Downs. Both beaches are sandy and expansive, with parking available on the beach. However, Uphill beach has the added feature of the River Axe flowing out to sea, and visitors are advised not to attempt to cross the river at low tide due to the risk of getting stuck in the mud.
Uphill beach is dog friendly, and the surrounding area offers opportunities for horse riding along the beach. Visitors can also explore Uphill Local Nature Reserve and enjoy the views from the tower.
