Why a Family Beach Holiday in the UK? 

From classic Victorian seaside towns to quaint fishing villages and bustling resorts, the British Isles is in no short supply when it comes to fantastic places to go for family beach holidays! 

By booking one of these properties, you and your loved ones will be treated to a cosy and spacious place to stay, providing you with all the creature comforts of home as well as quick and easy access to the nearest beach. 

So, if you’re looking for the ultimate place to bring the whole family together for a well-needed getaway, then booking one of these cottages for family beach holidays is the perfect idea to consider. 

Places to Visit during Family Beach Holidays in the UK 

The British coast stretches over 20,000 miles in length, and there’s no shortage of brilliant places to go for an unforgettable family beach holiday. So, if you’re looking to whittle down your options to the very best places, then we’re more than happy to offer a few suggestions! 

One place that continues to attract families year after year is the Cornish Coast, where you’ll find some fantastic seaside hotspots like St Ives, Newquay and Bude. Take a short drive from many of the surrounding villages and you’ll be paddling in clear waters or surfing the waves in no time! Popular attractions like the Blue Reef Aquarium and the Eden Project are also perfect places to consider visiting, especially on a rainy day. 

On the opposite side of the country lies the Suffolk Coast, a quieter yet equally beautiful choice for your next family beach holiday. Towns like Southwold and Aldeburgh offer plenty for holidaymakers to see and do, being home to a wonderful beach, an historic pier and a host of quaint cafés to stop off at. Whether you’re crabbing at Lowestoft or wandering across the coastal paths, there’s plenty for the whole family to enjoy here. 

Alternatively, the Northumberland Coast is ideal for those wanting to combine history with seaside views. With castles like Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh being just a short drive away from the region's best beaches, your family days out are guaranteed to be packed with fun and excitement!
