✅ Brean Beach – 7 Miles of Sandy Shore

Stretching from Burnham-on-Sea to Brean Down, this vast beach is perfect for long walks, sandcastles, games, or just relaxing with a view. And the best part? It’s right on our doorstep.

✅ Climb Brean Down for a Coastal View

Brean Down is one of Somerset’s most iconic spots. The climb is free, and you’re rewarded with breathtaking views across the Bristol Channel — on a clear day, you can even see Wales!

✅ Visit Brean Theme Park

Did you know Brean Theme Park is the UK’s largest free-admission theme park? You’re welcome to wander through the park, take in the sights and sounds, and soak up the atmosphere. You only pay for the rides and attractions you use — making it a great choice for flexible fun on a budget.

✅ Take a Dog-Friendly Walk Through the Dunes

Bring your pup and explore the dog-friendly dunes at the back of the park. A peaceful walk through this natural landscape is a lovely way to start or end your day.

✅ Catch a Sunset by the Sea

Sunsets over Brean beach are nothing short of magical. Bring a blanket, your camera, or just sit and watch the sky change colour — it’s one of the simplest and most special experiences we can offer.
