beach tomorrow?

sooz

ok. the weather looks good and i want to take the kids to the beach tomorrow.

i have never been anywhere south east of london (i've only ever heard of southend from eastenders :rolleyes: and don't consider that a good recommendation....)

any suggestions?

Watch out for ear buds and worse washing up on the beach!!!
...seriously though have fun!!

don't worry, i have no plans of actually getting into the sea :eek: (it's wet...and things live in it :eek: ).

I just want to find a nice beach to build sandcastles

I'd steer clear of all the well known places then- drive along a coastal road and find somewhere more secluded- there'll still be an ice cream van for the littlies!

Brighton.
Train from Victoria, 1+ hour journey.
10 min straight walk from station to seafront with pebble beach.

Pier with amusements & seafront to explore

I know it's now past but next time try studland - it's near Poole and a beautiful beach with sand dunes etc - very wild and natural (but don;t go to the really natrual part of it where the visitors like to get back to nature )

didn't make it anywhere because the kids were ill on saturday night :mad: , but hopefully next weekend the weather will still be good.

We visited Camber Sands over the Easter Weekend and it was beautiful, its a long wide SANDY beach with sand dunes to the back of it, ther sea was out (and it was a distance to walk) but the tide came in in the early afternoon but it still left loads of room for sunbathing and building sandcastles.
It is next to the harbour town of Rye and it is well worth a car journey to.

Bournemouth is beautiful. Clean sand, horse merry go round thing, trampolines, bouncy castle slides, pier etc. Shops!!
