Hotels in Brean

Yes, Brean is absolutely worth a visit, especially if you're looking for a mix of beach fun, nature and family-friendly attractions. The village sits on the Somerset coast and has one of the longest sandy beaches in Europe, stretching for over seven miles. It’s ideal for sunbathing, sandcastle building and long coastal walks. Brean is also home to Brean Leisure Park, which includes amusement rides, a waterpark and indoor play areas. Nature lovers will enjoy Brean Down, a dramatic headland with panoramic views and a historic fort at the top.

Brean is more of a seaside village than a town, but it definitely has all the features of a classic coastal destination. It’s nestled between Weston-Super-Mare and Burnham-on-Sea, with the Bristol Channel on one side and the River Axe on the other. The beach is the main draw, with wide sandy stretches, dunes and shallow waters that are great for paddling and beach games.

Brean is a small village that packs in a lot for visitors, including family attractions, shops and a long beach. It’s compact enough to explore on foot, but with enough variety to keep you entertained for a weekend or short longer.

Yes, Brean still has a lively market scene. The Brean Market, located at Brean Leisure Park, has been running for over 50 years and features more than 60 traders. It usually operates on Saturdays and Sundays, plus extra days during bank holidays. You’ll find stalls selling crafts, fresh produce, clothing and holiday essentials, great for browsing and picking up something unique.

Brean has a great mix of history, nature and family fun, making it a brilliant spot for a holiday. If you're into history, don’t miss the Church of St Bridget—a listed building that dates back to the 13th century. It was beautifully rebuilt in the 1800s and gives a real sense of the village’s long-standing roots along the Bristol Channel. Nature lovers will want to head to Brean Down, a dramatic headland that stretches about 1.5 miles into the sea and rises nearly 100 metres high. The views from the top are absolutely stunning, and it’s a great place for a walk, a picnic or just soaking in the scenery. For families, Brean Leisure Park is a must-visit. It’s packed with rides and attractions, including roller coasters, freefall drops and regular events that keep things lively. It’s located just south of the village centre, so it’s easy to get to whether you're staying nearby or just visiting for the day. Brean’s sandy beaches are also a big draw, especially in the summer when they’re full of sun-seekers enjoying the sea air and wide open space. Whether you're after adventure or a laid-back beach day, Brean has something for everyone.

It does! Brean has a good selection of local shops and convenience stores, ideal for picking up holiday essentials like snacks, beach gear and souvenirs. There’s also a bakery and coffee house in the village centre, plus seasonal stalls and kiosks near the beach and leisure park.

No, Brean doesn’t have its own train station. The nearest stations are Highbridge & Burnham, about 7 miles away, and Weston-Super-Mare, around 9 miles away. From either station, you can catch a local bus or taxi to reach Brean. 

Brean doesn’t have a traditional seaside pier like you’d find in Weston-Super-Mare or Burnham-on-Sea. However, Brean Down is often referred to as a natural pier, a 1.5-mile-long headland that stretches into the Bristol Channel. It’s a fantastic spot for walking, with dramatic cliffs, wildlife and the ruins of a Victorian fort at the top.
