Local Attractions
Brean Beach
Brean beach can be accessed directly across the road from us here at Holiday Resort Unity. Offering seven miles of flat golden sands, it is ideal for a day out at the seaside! Dogs are welcome on the beach all year round, and it is patrolled by wardens from 1st May to 30th September. Parking is available both on the beach and in the National Trust Car Park, but please abide to all tidal and beach warnings due to the mud exposed at low tide. The beautiful sands reach the stunning sites of Berrow Beach, too – you’ll be spoilt for choice as to where to build those sandcastles and light the barbecues.
Brean Bird Garden
Brean Down Tropical Bird Garden is situated on the edge of the National Trust land in an area of outstanding natural beauty and only a few yards from the beach. It’s a great place to bring the family and an ideal opportunity to discover the rare beauty associated with tropical birds found throughout the world. There is a licensed café with indoor and outdoor seating areas and a gift shop. The Bird Garden is open from April to October from 10am until dusk.

National Trust - Brean Down
A haven for nature lovers and the outdoorsy types – Brean Down is a National Trust site which, from the top, offers breathtaking panoramic views of Brean, Berrow, Burnham-on-Sea, and Weston-super-Mare. If you’re lucky enough to be greeted with the southern sunshine of Brean’s weather then you’ll also be able to see coastal views of South Wales. The walk is steep and due to grazing animals and steep drops, it is essential they are kept on a lead at all times. Don’t worry if you forget the picnic basket, either, because at the bottom of the Down is a National Trust shop and café, with toilets, and a car park (charges apply).
The Grand Pier & Weston-Super-Mare
Just a short drive away you can visit Weston-Super-Mare along the Somerset Coast. The long stretches of glorious, sandy beach, Weston-super-Mare has lots to offer and is mostly on the level with no steep walkways to access the beach. It is also home to The Grand Pier which is the ideal destination for non-stop indoor theme park fun. With rides, attractions & the largest arcade games, a visit to the Pier is the perfect treat for kids.
