Brean Beach

Ready for the summer? Time to dip into the water, top up your tan and build a sand castle at Brean Beach near Bristol.

This 7-mile sandy beach is one of the longest in Europe and is the perfect place for a walk, especially if you have a dog. Your four-legged friends will love it just as much as the kids!

A lazy day at the beach is a firm family favourite - just unwind and enjoy the sun to the sound of kids playing and waves washing on the shore with a quiet “Woosh”. Want more fun? At Brean you can turn into a family of adventurers and climb the 97-metre Brean Down, where you'll discover stunning views and fascinating historic sites. See the Roman temple and the 19th century fortress, standing at the top.
