🧺 5 Scenic Picnic Spots Near Beachside

There’s nothing quite like a picnic by the sea – and around Beachside Holiday Park, you’re spoiled for choice! Whether you're planning a lazy lunch with a view, a family day out, or a dog-friendly spot to relax, these five local gems are perfect for unrolling your blanket and soaking up the sunshine.

🏞 1. Brent Knoll Viewpoint

Just a short drive inland, Brent Knoll offers breathtaking panoramic views across Somerset. After a gentle hike to the top, you’ll be rewarded with a peaceful setting ideal for a quiet picnic surrounded by countryside. Bring a flask and enjoy the scenery!

🏰 2. Brean Down Fort

Steeped in history and boasting incredible views across the Bristol Channel, Brean Down is one of the most iconic picnic spots near Beachside. Settle down near the old fort and watch the waves roll in – it’s a popular walking route too, so perfect if you’re bringing the dog.

🌾 3. Berrow Dunes

If you’re after something more secluded, head to Berrow Dunes. This lesser-known beauty spot is tucked between the beach and countryside. The natural dunes provide shelter on breezy days and give your picnic a true 'hidden gem' feel.

🌸 4. Marine Cove Gardens, Weston-super-Mare

Planning a day trip to Weston? Pack a picnic and stop by Marine Cove Gardens. This beautifully maintained space right by the beach is peaceful, family-friendly, and bursting with floral colour during the summer months.

🧸 5. Beachside Barbeque Area

Of course, you don’t need to go far! Our very own barbeque area at the top of the park is perfect for a picnic. With sea views, space for little ones to run around, and our play area close by, it’s ideal for a stress-free afternoon in the sun.

🐶 Picnic Tips:

All of these spots are dog-friendly, just remember to bring water for your furry friend.

Don’t forget your picnic blanket, sunscreen, and a bag for your rubbish.

For the best local picnic food, try the farm shops nearby or grab takeaway from our Sundowner Café!
