Beach walk from Brean village to Brean Down
A glorious walk across the acres of sand that make up Brean beach. This is the clasic British beach walk where the sea ebbs away into the distance at low tide leaving a vast expanse of compacted sand to walk across. With the promontory of Brean head jutting out to the north and the island of Steep Holm lurking in the distance it makes for some interesting views.
Return can either be directly back along the sands which offer firm sand even at most high tides, or along the beach road where there are ample bars and restaurants that accompany the numerous holiday camps that adorn this area.
Probably the best time to walk this beach is early morning when the beach is devoid of people and the dawn is breaking from the landward side. With a moody sky where clouds deflect the sunlight in every direction then this beach becomes a true wonder to walk along.
