Devon
From hilly landscapes to coastal cliffs and sea views, Devon is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life! With white-sand beaches, secluded coves, water sport activities and family-friendly areas, if you are looking for a beach holiday this Summer, look no further! In Devon, you can experience fossil-rich cliffs and breathtakingly beautiful moorland like no other in the UK. For adventure-filled days, South Devon is an incredible place to go sailing, paddle boarding or even kayaking. Whilst you’re in Devon, we also recommend trying out some fresh locally caught seafood, and for dessert, a delicious Devonshire split paired with a cup of freshly brewed tea!
- Fly to Exeter from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle and Norwich.
Cornwall
With over 500km of coastline, 300 stunning beaches and the mildest and sunniest climate in the UK, Cornwall is an ideal family-friendly holiday destination. Through all of the Cornish coast, you can find crystal-clear turquoise seas and beautiful sandy beaches, similar to the Caribbean, but without needing to fly that far away! And did you know that Newquay hosts the annual National Surfing Championships? If you wish to try surfing for the first time, you can also get private lessons for the whole family whilst in Newquay! For a day trip, we recommend heading to Mousehole, a charming fishing village, where you can learn all about its rich smuggling history!
- Fly to Newquay from Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Manchester, Newcastle, Sumburgh & Teesside.
Norfolk
When you think of a beach holiday, Norfolk probably wouldn’t be the first place to pop into your mind. However, two beach places which are very much worth a visit (especially during the summer) are Great Yarmouth and Cromer, both of which are around 30 to 40 minutes away from Norwich. Great Yarmouth is a seaside resort with a beautiful promenade which is perfect for a stroll, and for when you start feeling peckish, you can find many typical British pubs and fish and chip shops. When visiting Cromer, you cannot miss trying out their famous crabs and walking along the stunning pier. For a more relaxing beach holiday, Great Yarmouth and Cromer are both worth a visit. You can also split your holiday between both seaside towns, they’re only an hour away from each other!
- Fly to Norwich from Aberdeen, Edinburgh & Exeter.
Outer Hebrides
The Outer Hebrides have some of the longest daylight hours from all over the UK, meaning you can enjoy whole days out, from early morning walks (with opportunities to see Otters!) to spectacular nights out. The beauty of the Outer Hebrides is that you can easily hop from one island to the other. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even take a boat trip to islands such as St Kilda, The Flannans and Mingulay! Or perhaps, a watersports activity, like wild swimming, surfing or kayaking. If you would rather have a relaxing holiday, you can always head to the beach for some peace and quiet. On the islands, you can enjoy some of the least untouched landscapes in Europe, with no pollution or disturbance.
- Fly to Benbecula from Glasgow, Inverness, Stornoway & to Stornoway from Benbecula, Edinburgh, Glasgow & Inverness.
