Has Nessie gone on vacation?

The Loch Ness Monster has been spotted on vacation in Somerset, England.

Visitors to the seaside town of Clevedon spotted a sea creature paddling in the water next to the area's Victorian pier and pointed out that it had a striking resemblance to the mythical Scottish monster.

Anna Purse and her six-year-old daughter Grace caught a glimpse of the 'monster' floating in the sea.

She told the Metro newspaper: "Myself and Grace were sitting on one of the benches before the pier. The shape was right next to the pier and I noticed it moving.

"It moved all the way along the sea in front of us while we were sat there. Grace said it looked like a sea monster, just the shape of it reminded me of Nessie."
