robertandjean Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Well should rule us out too, but not going to be! One of best sea side aires we visit in France is at Port Carro (Bouches-du-Rhone, dept 13), You park right next to sea front/ harbour wall with easy walk into village. Bus from village runs into the interesting town of Martigues, whilst catching same bus to rail station allows a trip into Marseille. Cost (low season) 6€/night inc. services. Does get busy, so arrive early but a great sea side stopover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Our favorite seaside location is top secret and I'm not telling >:-) But I will tell you the ones we visit most, Southwold and Frinton, both are only around 2hrs from us. Southwold is for the 'grown up' visit, quaint town, interesting relativly unspoilt harbour, campsite within staggering distance of decent pub and just a short distance from beach, we've even been known to visit the dodgey end of beach that andy saw on his round brittian tour. Frinton, not too bad a town, relativly undeveloped beach, and just a short trip to Walton to keep the young'uns happy, which reminds me, does anyone know of a tranqualiser you can take such that you can keep an eye on the kids without being driven mad by the noise and flashing lights of amusments. :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t5tripper Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Swanage is a lovely old fashioned sea side town in Dorset with a beautiful steam railway. It has one of the oldest Punch and Judy shows as well as a safe, sandy beach and wonderful scenery. There are amusements for the kids if necessary, crazy golf, etc, etc, fish and chips as well as boat trips, country park and plenty of places to visit locally. It suits all ages and has a really nice atmosphere, small but not too small, but still small enough not to be over powered by night clubs and food chains.

Madmaggott Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Anywhere that we are not treated like pariahs because we have a dog, just because some dog owners don't 'pick up'! But mainly my home town because we can enjoy it each and every day and we know the best walks and pubs to call at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie gibblebucket Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 We visited Scarborough for the 1st time last year, I quite liked it there, very traditional seaside place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowtelse2do Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Southport is nice, Everything for the family, and a good safe beach. Only trouble with the sea is that it is over in Ireland. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peter James Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I like Southwold too. But it was horrible last week, lovely sunny weather but clouds of those little black flies on the seafront that crawl all over you. Was better inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
