The crest, which typifies a seaside resort, consists of a lighthouse standing upon a rock with a seagull in the natural colours, flying in front of it. This refers also to a distinguishing characteristic of Flat Holm, one of the two small islands, which form a prominent feature of Weston Bay. The crest is the only element taken from the previous arms (see below). | The crest, which typifies a seaside resort, consists of a lighthouse standing upon a rock with a seagull in the natural colours, flying in front of it.

The supporters on either side of the shield are, on the left a blue lion with its head turned facing the viewer, and with a golden collar round its neck, from which depends by a golden chain a red shield charged with a white or silver chevron between three golden clarions-the arms of the Arthur family. <br/> | The supporters on either side of the shield are, on the left a blue lion with its head turned facing the viewer, and with a golden collar round its neck, from which depends by a golden chain a red shield charged with a white or silver chevron between three golden clarions-the arms of the Arthur family. <br/> |
