The Great British beach holiday - no passport required
With 38 coastal parks spread across England, Scotland and Wales, finding your dream beach holiday has never been easier. No passport, no airport queues and just a simple drive away. Whether it's going for a leisurely stroll with the family along a sandy shore, or taking your dog out on a picturesque walk, our breaks are perfect for those looking for a great time away.
From the sound of the waves crashing against the shore, to watching the sun come down on the horizon, Haven holidays create a lifetime of memories.
Find your coastal Haven - parks across Great Britain
Discover your perfect coastal escape across Haven's 38 parks in England, Wales and Scotland. Head to the South West for Devon, Dorset and Cornwall's mesmeric coastlines, explore Wales' beaches and bays, or simply enjoy the traditional seaside towns you find along the East Coast in Norfolk, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Scotland's pair of beautiful parks in Ayrshire and East Lothian offer that classic breeze of sea air.
From Riviere Sands at Towans Beach - named best beach in the UK by The Times in 2024 - to Weymouth Bay and Seaview on the Jurassic Coast, there are plenty of stunning views to marvel at. But that's not all. If you're looking for a bit more fun, then revel in Craig Tara's Splashaway Bay, which features one of the biggest indoor swimming complexes in Scotland, or Hafan y Mor's incredible nine outdoor play areas. Wherever you are, Haven has a coastal park just for you.
More than a beach - everything you need on-park
A Haven holiday is more than just a place to stay near the beach. It's a full-on coastal experience with everything you need, ranging from fun and activities to on-park dining. Meet our beloved Seaside Squad, who've been entertaining guests for over 30 years, while during peak season, our parks offer entertainment seven-evenings-a-week.
You can find heated indoor pools and welcoming restaurants at every park whenever you want to quench your thirst or fill your belly up. Selected parks even have an on-park J D Wetherspoon pub! Our pools and water parks are a big hit with both adults and kids, including Splashaway Bay at Craig Tara, which is one of Scotland's largest.
If you book our Haven package, you can pre-book activities from 12 weeks in advance, with some available for under £10, including the likes of crazy golf and ranger activities. Our dog-friendly parks and accommodation mean that your favorite four-legged member can join you on your fun-filled break at most parks, too.
Choose how you stay - coastal accommodation for every style
Start your perfect break by choosing the stay that suits you. Whether you're looking for a place that's affordable and provides great value, or are looking to upgrade to something more premium, Haven has you covered. Our cosy caravans start at just £49 for three nights, while more luxurious options like beach houses at Perran Sands, Cornwall, start from £729 for four nights, and deck houses, at Caister-on-Sea, Norfolk, start at £229 for four nights.
For those wanting to experience something a little different, take a look at our glamping options in safari tents and geo domes from just £49 and £69 at selected parks.
