A holiday for 4 for £1000 is it possible?

Hello everyone - does anyone have any ideas for our £1000 budget family of four (two boys 10 and 14) last week july/or 1st week august - we don't care where we go as long as it has sea and sand and we don't mind where we stay as long as it is very very clean and tidy and walking distance of a beach - is it possible? Any websites I could search on please?

    Camping in France - check out Canvas, Eurocamp or Haven. The boys would love it with loads to do and travelling over via Shuttle (you can book on Tesco points) means you could take bikes !

    Seconded- with the addittion of Keycamp.
    We're not long back from a fabulous site at St Cast, Brittany. There are better sites out there for the age of your kids though.

    The La Luna Beach is located in a nice area in the center of the resort of Stalis, there is lots of taverns, bars and shops to choice from. If guests feels like a little more party places then Stalis can offer then Malia is approximately 2 km away and so is Hersonnissos. The accommodation is located on the sea side of Stalis and therefore there is only a few minutes walk to the nice little sandy beach of Stalis.

    Total Cost £1,024.08

    Take off the in flight meal and the child care costs to get this price.

    Searched Olympic Holidays for Crete, Stalis.

    I recommend Stalis as it is a really good, safe family resort with plenty to see and do and a lovely safe beach and sea for the kids.
