  1. Comfy beach chairs to relax in style
  2. Beach toys for the little ones (and the young at heart)

Food and Refreshments

The beach experience is all about relaxing and enjoying the sun. But if you are like me, the thought of sitting on a beach for hours without any food can leave you a little deflated. Thankfully, there are plenty of food options within our local towns and beaches that would love to welcome you in and serve you some fantastic food. However, if your looking for the full beach day experience make sure to plan ahead by bringing your own from the caravan for a beach side picnic. The key to most peoples happiness is food so whether it’s a picnic lunch or local pub grub make sure to plan ahead or make reservations within the busy months

Which beach should I visit

It can be tough to pick one. But fear not, we’ve got you covered! Whether you’re into dolphin spotting in New Quay, fossil hunting at St Audries Bay, relaxing at Aberporth, or getting caught up in the excitement of Tenby, there’s something for everyone in the family to enjoy. Each beach offers a unique experience, and we invite you to explore them all. So, pack your bags and get ready for a beach adventure one caravan holiday at a time with Barkers Leisure.
