The South Coast of England is known to be the sunniest place in the UK. Stretching for around 400 miles, there are plenty of caravan parks along the South Coast to choose from for a UK staycation. There’s always something to see and do from the miles of the Jurassic Coast to the multiple award winning beaches.
A caravan holiday can be the perfect solution for a family wanting a self catering holiday. Caravan accommodation comes with everything you need, and provides a great base with plenty of outdoor space and facilities to explore the park and further afield.
The following caravan parks are all along the coast close to a beach, perfect for enjoying the entertainment from the park, and the freedom of the beach in one holiday without having to travel further. Many of the Haven sites have either direct access to a beach or have a beach very close by.
