The Grand Pier is a pier in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset. It is situated on the Bristol Channel approximately 18 miles south west of Bristol.
The pier is privately-owned and is one of three piers in the town together with Birnbeck Pier and the much shorter SeaQuarium aquarium built towards the south end of the seafront. It is supported by 600 iron piles, and is 400 metres (1,300 ft) long. It has been damaged by fire on two occasions in 1930 and 2008. The photo shows the new pier which opened in October 2010.
