Seven miles of flat golden sand run north from Burnham-on-Sea to Brean, backed by grassy dunes and finished off by the great limestone hump of Brean Down. Halfway along, a little white lighthouse stands on nine wooden legs, and out past it the Bristol Channel slips away so far at low tide that you’ll wonder where the sea has gone.<\/p>\n

Most Burnham-on-Sea holiday parks sit in that strip between the resort and the Down, so the real choice is about location: stay by the shops and the Esplanade, or behind the dunes at Berrow and Brean?<\/p>\n

The Low Lighthouse has stood on its wooden legs on the sands at Burnham-on-Sea since 1832<\/p>\n

Lakeside's caravans sit by the water, a 10 minute level stroll from the High Street at Burnham-on-Sea<\/p>\n

Leave the car at the caravan park all week. Lakeside is a 10 minute level stroll from the High Street and the sands, which suits buggies and older legs alike, and on site there’s an outdoor heated pool, a beer garden, bar food and a takeaway, an adventure playground and a games zone, with bingo and quizzes some evenings. The caravans are mid range 12ft-wide homes with a double and a twin bedroom. Our guide to relaxing holidays at Lakeside<\/a> has more.<\/p>\n

Sandy Meadows<\/a><\/h3>\n

8 mins by car | sleeps up to 8 | hot tubs | pets welcome<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next door to Sandy Glade and much quieter, Sandy Meadows is a lodge site where some of the luxury lodges have their own outdoor hot tub, and you can use the pool and clubhouse at the sister site whenever you want a bit of life.

Unity Beach<\/a><\/h3>\n

Caravans at Brean Sands put the pools, the slides and the sand a short stroll away<\/p>\n

If your kids measure a holiday in waterslides, this is the one. Unity Beach is the big entertainment resort at Brean Sands, with an indoor pool and toddler splash park, outdoor heated pools with slides, a gym, kids’ clubs and RJ’s, an American themed entertainment complex. New for 2025 came the Pavilion Theatre and the Wonkey Donkey bar and kitchen. The sand is a stone’s throw away, and Brean Theme Park is close by.<\/p>\n
