West Kirby, Wirral
West Kirby offers a great retreat for safe swimming, with crystal clear water and lots of things to do. Across from West Kirby beach, you can see an extraordinary view of the Snowdon mountain range in Wales. It is also the starting point for Hilbre Island wildlife sanctuary, a great spot for bird-watchers. If the beautiful scenery and swimming isn’t enough for you, West Kirby beach is also situated right next to Hoylake beach which is a great place to see sand yachters and paragliders catching the air rushing up the dropping coast-line
Rock, Cornwall.
If you are looking to spot some celebs in the sand, then Rock in Cornwall is probably your best bet. Celebrities have often been seen perusing this picturesque town and with so much to offer it’s hard to see why. Rock is home to the Camel estuary, a great place for wind-surfing, sailing and fishing with a highly esteemed fishing shop that sells a wide selection for the professional angler. Rock is also home to a selection of luxury hotels for you to rest your head in-between the sight-seeing.
Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset
Family-fun is the biggest selling point of Weston-super-mare, with lots of fun things to do with the kids including a miniature-railway, sea-life centre, amusement arcades and more. There is a flat Victorian-style promenade which holds a variety of events throughout the year.
With plenty of destinations to choose from, make sure you find great accommodation to compliment your stay. Luxury hotels are great if you can afford them. If you’re a couple, a romantic country hotel may be more to your taste.
