A scenic view of Brean

Things to do on a camping holiday in Brean revolve around the beach. It's one of eight recognised beaches on a single stretch of sand between Weston-super-Mare and Burnham-on-sea. While it's a popular area, with holiday parks lining the coast, there's usually plenty of space for everyone however you like to enjoy the beach. From swimming to sailing, sun-bathing to sandcastle-building, fishing to dog-walking, this huge stretch of sand can accommodate you. Brean itself is a small village with some big holiday park complexes including theme park rides and a waterpark. There are cafes, takeaways and shops where you can stock up on supplies but for a walk on the wilder side, how about exploring Brean Down at the north end of the beach? It's a 320ft-high headland that juts one-and-a-half miles out into the Bristol Channel. Looked after by the National Trust, there's a ruined Napoleonic Fort and a downland habitat that attracts rare plants and birds. From up on the downs there are far reaching views out to sea, north towards Weston-super-Mare and inland to the countryside, giving a hint of the places you can visit during a stay near Brean.
