You've got children, and you want to keep them occupied. You've told them you’re going to the seaside, and they expect sandy beaches. You've been working all year, and you want a rest. So where to go?

Perennial favourites Cornwall and Devon are ideal for cottage holidays - there is a massive choice of accommodation, lots to do, sandy beaches, picturesque coves, and cream teas for everyone! The Lincolnshire coast too is family-orientated with its resorts, amusements and acres of sand. If you want somewhere quieter, North Norfolk, Northumberland or Mid-Wales might be for you, and here on the BritishCoastGuide.com you’ll find all sorts of accommodation ideas.

If it's a rip-roaring traditional British resort you’re after, they’re all around our coast from Blackpool to Bournemouth, Rhyl to Ramsgate. You’ll find a brand new pier in Weston-super-Mare, more hotels than you thought possible in Brighton, and holiday villages throughout.
