The word is out, and in the last few years, Brancaster has been discovered as a great laidback very popular holiday destination. New visitors may like to have an idea of what it's like here in Brancaster, and what else is available in the area.  Enjoy a wonderful beach with the children, which has about 1.7 miles of mostly fine sand suitable for children to make sand castles. Dogs are permitted on this beach.  There is a large car park at the entrance of the beach which often gets full in the summer months.  The parking charge is £4 for 2 hours and £8 for the whole day. High tides over 8 metres can flood the beach access road, so best to check when these times occur.
