Visiting Brean Beach

Getting there

From Bristol, take the A370 west towards Weston-super-Mare. Continue on the A370, following signs for Weston-super-Mare and then for Brean. Once in Brean, follow signs directing towards the beach, Brean Down, or local holiday parks which are situated close to the beachfront.

Parking

There is ample parking available along the beach access points, with several large car parks close to the beach. During the peak summer months, it's recommended to arrive early to find a good parking spot.

Toilets

Public toilets are available near the beach entrances and within the adjacent holiday parks.

Safety

Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
