Brean Sands Number of views as of 8th March 2018 = 575. Brean Sands is a 7 mile stretch of beach between Brean Down (south of Weston-Super-Mare) and Burnham-on-Sea, in the county of Somerset, England. The sands are popular with holiday makers and the village of Brean (pronounced Bree-an by the locals) has a population of just over 2,000 people, but this swells to 20 times that in peak periods as visitors arrive with their tents and caravans. Cars are allowed to park on the beach, but bathers must beware as the sand gives way to the soft mud of the Bristol Channel at low tide. Date: 23rd May 2015.
