Weston-super-Mare, Somerset
The south west has been a popular family holiday destination for generations, and Weston-super-Mare has one of the best beaches in the country for families. It’s also one of the longest beaches in the UK – no wonder tourists flock back year after year to enjoy its golden sand.
And once you’ve built a few sandcastles and paddled in the sea, you can make the most of everything else that makes Weston-super-Mare a great British holiday resort. Donkey rides have been running there since 1886 and the beach also has its own nearby miniature railway and aquarium.
Carbis Bay, Cornwall
For the best fun day out at the beach, look no further than Carbis Bay in Cornwall. Not only is this golden sandy beach perfect for boogie boarding and building sandcastles, fans also like to compare the beach that is surrounded by sub-tropical plants and lapped by turquoise waters t0 those much further south.
The RSPB bird sanctuary beach of Porthkidney Sands to the east of the beach adds another mile and a half to explore, if you’re getting bored of ice-cream, beach ball and collecting sea shells.
