An Easter getaway or May half-term retreat could be wonderfully spent at an independently operated holiday park boasting a private beach. Freshwater Beach Holiday Park, situated along Dorset’s stunning Jurassic Coast, offers panoramic views of rolling green hills on one side and an expansive, pristine beach on the other. The park’s unique location grants direct access to its own secluded beach with exquisite golden-hued shingle. Stroll north along the beach to encounter West Bay Cliffs, or head south where the River Bride meets the sea.
The park provides a variety of comfortable caravan accommodations just a stone’s throw away from the shore. Guests can choose between luxurious mobile homes offering uninterrupted sea vistas or modern, cozy options nestled within the park’s central area. For those preferring to bring their own camping gear, grass and hard-standing pitches are available, complete with essential amenities like electricity, water, showers, and WiFi.
Central to the park’s offerings is the Jurassic Fun Centre, which features heated indoor and outdoor pools, splash parks, and a range of entertaining facilities. Additionally, guests can enjoy a 10-pin bowling alley, restaurant, and bar right on the premises. A brief walk from the park leads to the quaint village of Burton Bradstock, home to traditional pubs and charming stone cottages. Nearby, West Bay, a picturesque harbor town, offers a classic seaside ambiance with fish and chip shops, cozy cafes, and a serene beach cove suitable for swimming.
Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity of the South West Coastal Path to the park, providing access to stunning coastal landscapes. The surrounding area is rich in National Trust sites such as Coney’s Castle and Golden Cap, offering captivating walks and panoramic views of the countryside. History buffs and nature lovers should not miss a visit to Mapperton House, Gardens & Wildlands, a Jacobean manor with elaborate rooms, formal gardens, and vast wildlands teeming with wildlife.
Accommodation options at Freshwater Beach Holiday Park start at £34 per night for camping and touring pitches, with hardstanding pitches available from £40 per night. Holiday homes are priced from £210 for a three-night stay based on double occupancy. For bookings and more information, visit Freshwater Beach’s official website.
