[Brighton Sky Blue]

Booked a weekend in Dublin end of August. It’s currently 30c at 22:00, so looking forward to it!

Going to Dublin for a week next month, just for work though

Off to Newquay in August. Bit of sea fishing, catch and cook on the beach. Lovely stuff

Just had a week in the van at Chapel Las Vegas, Lincs.
We just fancied somewhere easy to get to and cheapo.
It was great for the first three nights as we had the site to ourselves, and then about five other tents/vans turned up. It was still ok until about 4.30am when two ambulances and a police car rolled up. Turned out that a guy in one of the tents had had a heart attack - and, sadly, didn't survive.
Nobody expects that on holiday.

Carried on with this

Jan - Blackpool
Feb - Bude
March - Hunstanton (Day trip to try and save money by not having a hotel.... ndd up mor expensiv as the wife got done for Speeding on the way home)
April - Barry Island
May - Bournemouth & Pool


Think June and July are likely to be day trips again as we've got a lot on

August - Week in Cornwall.

Any further seaside recommendations appreciated

Obviously late to the party but I absolutely love this idea. How old are your kids?

Also help ease the guilty of not always doing enough family things in the week due to work/other commitments, if I know we have a guaranteed one weekend a month plan!

We went to Sorrento a few weeks ago, was a nice place, enjoyed it. Albeit felt we didn’t get to fully explore it all, as we were away with a group.

I'm going to Alicante this weekend with my missus and the baby (leaving the older two with their grandad). Looking forward to going through the airport not either half cut or hungover coming or going from Beni!

But instead going through it sleep deprived with a crying baby and a ton of carry on luggage to look after it.

I went to western Wales recently, stayed in a lovely cottage by the sea. Local boozer just down the road with fantastic views. Funnily enough... I've had some of the best times in Britain without going too far. Scotland is another favourite of mine, it probably also helps that I've got Scottish family ties!

They're 8 (9 next week) and 3.

June was a bit crazy but managing to combine climbing Snowdon this weekend with this month's trip and will be heading to a beach near there on Sunday.

It's a great new years resolution to be fair. Might prove a bit trickier once the season starts though!
