Florida man slams muddy UK beach in hilarious TikTok video

A famous British beach has failed to impress this American tourist whose hilarious reaction has gone viral on TikTok.

An American tourist holidaying in the UK has gone viral on TikTok for his outraged review of a local beach.

Nick Alexander, from Miami, visited Weston-Super-Mare, a seaside town in Somerset, England, and was shocked to find that it was nothing like the white sandy beaches of Florida.

Nick Alexander, or “Mr Miami UK” as he’s known online, travelled with friends to Somerset to the famously long beach that is covered in thick mud.

Alexander, who expected the picture-perfect coastline of Miami, documented his unhappy experience on TikTok on June 13.

One of his videos, called “Weston Super Mud – Don’t Go There”, went viral and racked up nearly 100,000 views and thousands of likes.

They also attracted many heated comments from Bristol locals.

“I thought ‘where’s the water?’,” Alexander said in the video.

“Once I spotted where the water was I thought it was going to be an easy walk to get there.

“My friend had some family there already and they said you’re not going to make it to the water but I thought they were just being lazy.

“I didn’t expect the mud was going to come up to my knees – my Crocs got completely obliterated so I had to take them off and had to go in my toes.

“My feet are smooth though. The mud part was fun but not getting to the water was devastating.”

Alexander and his TikTokker friends Cleopatra Harvey, 24, Alliyah Shearer, 22 and Shanae Williams, 15, were determined to go for a dip in the sea, but when they started their pilgrimage, they realised they weren’t fully prepared.

“The people who were at the beach looked like 15 ants because that’s how far away they were,” he said.

“I thought, those are the troupers because they made it all the way there, they made it.

“I don’t even think I made it a quarter of the way there.”

Alexander moved to Wolverhampton in the West Midlands – where his mum is from – to study international business management at Wolverhampton University.

He admitted the beach was a major culture shock compared to the golden-sand beaches he’s used to on the US east coast.

“I’m from Miami so I’ve been getting some flack in the comments saying I should’ve checked the tide, I didn’t know water could go away!” he said.

“I don’t know who checked, when I was a kid I’ve never shown up to the beach and the water was four miles away – from now on I’ll be checking the tide.”

The group also visited the fair on the promenade and had a go on some of the rides.

“I looked at the beach upside down from the air and felt closer to the water – that was pretty cool,” Alexander said.

In another video, he added: “The thing about these little roller-coasters is you feel like you’re going to die the entire time, because you might just fall off.”

He also sampled traditional British cuisine of fish and chips, but was shocked about the presence of the skin on the fish.

The chef and music manager, who has over 116,000 followers on social media, was also surprised by the presence of sunbathers on a beach where the sea is so far away.

“The fact that people actually didn’t go to the beach to go swimming and just to lay in the sun I thought that was crazy, how do you cool off?” he said.
