There is a sound that defines the perfect British holiday: the distant cry of gulls, the rhythmic crash of the waves, and the unmistakable sound of children’s laughter as they hunt for crabs in a rock pool.
At Haven, we’ve been the guardians of the Great British Staycation for decades. But today, the seaside holiday has evolved. It’s no longer just about fish and chips on the pier (though we still love that!); it’s about high-adrenaline activities, luxury lodges with hot tubs, and creating memories that bridge the gap between generations. Here is why a break at one of our coastal parks is the breath of fresh air your family needs.
1. Nature is Our Playground
Our parks are situated on some of the most stunning stretches of coastline in the UK. From the rugged cliffs of Scotland to the sandy dunes of Cornwall, we provide a front-row seat to the best of Britain’s natural beauty.
- The “Coastal Wild” Experience: We encourage families to get their hands dirty. Our Nature Rockz program teaches kids (and grown-ups!) how to build shelters, identify local wildlife, and even start a campfire safely.
- Blue Flag Beaches: Many of our parks sit directly on Blue Flag beaches, ensuring the water is clean and the sand is pristine for your little explorers.
2. Adventure Around Every Corner
If your family has energy to burn, we have the fuel. We’ve invested in state-of-the-art facilities that turn a “walk on the beach” into an epic adventure.
- The Jump & The Wall: Test your nerves on our Adventure Villages, featuring bungee trampolines, climbing walls, and the heart-pounding “Jump” onto a giant airbag.
- Splash-tastic Pools: Our indoor and outdoor pools aren’t just for swimming. With lazy rivers, high-speed slides, and splash zones for the toddlers, they are the heartbeat of the park.
3. Accommodation for the Modern Family
Gone are the days when “caravanning” meant roughing it. At Haven, we offer a range of accommodation that puts comfort first.
- Luxury Lodges: Think floor-to-ceiling windows, wrap-around decks, and modern kitchens. It’s a home-away-from-home where you can watch the sunset over the ocean.
- Dog-Friendly Stays: We know a family holiday isn’t complete without the four-legged members. Our dog-friendly caravans ensure your pup has plenty of space to wag their tail after a long day on the beach.
4. Entertainment That Connects
When the sun goes down, our parks come to life. We believe in entertainment that brings people together.
- The Marina Bar & Stage: From West End-style productions to interactive game shows and the legendary Seaside Squad, there is something to keep every age group mesmerized.
- Outdoor Cinemas: On warm evenings, there is nothing quite like watching a family favorite under the stars with a blanket and some popcorn.
5. Trust and Transparency: The Haven Promise
We know that your holiday time is precious. That’s why we lead with Trust. * The Haven App: From checking in to booking your activities and ordering food, our app puts the power in your pocket, meaning less time in queues and more time in the pool.
- Value for Money: With so many activities included in the price of your stay, we provide a transparent way to vacation without the constant worry of “hidden extras.”
Conclusion: Rediscover the Magic
The British coastline has a way of making the world feel right again. It’s a place to put down the phones, breathe in the salt air, and remember what it’s like to just be a family. Whether you’re building your first sandcastle or your fiftieth, Haven is here to make sure it’s a moment you’ll never forget.
