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.
The mass can be spotted from a significant distance away, including on the popular beach live stream, with many visitors being forced to steer clear of the area. As a result, many unimpressed tourists have left scathing reviews on the attraction’s Tripadvisor page, with several complaints about “smelly, slimy Weymouth beach” and the “unpleasant” seaweed.
In response to the criticism, Weymouth Town Council has said it is aware of the “unsightly” seaweed, however they have made a “conscious decision not to routinely remove any animals or plants” and will allow the kelp to be washed away. One tourist said he was "disappointed" during a recent trip to the beach, adding that he didn't understand why the seaweed has not been removed.
He said: “Our memories were shattered with just one look at the beach and the state the council have decided to leave it in.
“The vast quantities of wet and drying piles of seaweed which had to be walked over if you want to get to the sea. Saw children crying as they didn't like walking on it and the days of seeing clear blue clean water where, if you were lucky you could see shoals of baby fish, have gone.
“So left with these memories, we shall not be in a hurry to return.”
