Yarmouth, Brighton, Southend or any suggestion down south for a young family with children aged 4&2 please. Only going for 4 nights but would like advice on where might be best. I did Bournemouth 2 years ago and it was brilliant but we do like to try new places. Thanks in advance
Not sure what Yarmouth is like these days but we went every year on the caravan parks when I was a kid in the 80s.
Great Yarmouth is good for youngsters...plenty to do in and around said place. used to work in Southend but not sure i'd go back with kids. Brighton....no clue!
Why down South? Long way from Royston for just 4 nights Brighton is good but not sure for really young kids as beach is all pebbles In fact there isn’t much sand on the south coast between Portsmouth and Dover Haven’t been to Great Yarmouth since I was a nipper around 1970 I think. Remember it had a decent beach If the South West is also an option Dawlish or Torquay are good
Was there a couple of days ago. Pretty nice for a decent sized seaside town. Looked to be lots to do for kids (including the Sealife Centre), decent chippies, surrounded by beautiful Georgian buildings and a sandy beach. And there's Dorchester just to the north which is a lovely old town. Also in Dorset, Swanage is nice, but a lot smaller than Weymouth. But there is Corfe Castle next door which is a must see.
MableThorpe for young kids . Loads for them and miles of golden sandy beaches. Skegness and theme park just a short ride away too .
Yarmouth ok but like most seaside holiday spots on east coast a bit rough and run down in places I was there at Oct half term wasn’t to bad but it was out of season so not a lot open
Went on a sun holiday to South Wales , absolutely brilliant and the best beaches in the UK bar none . Pendine sands near Tenby . Lots to do for the little uns too and folly farm which is a kiddies paradise with fairground type rides etc !
Lizard peninsula for me at least twice a year for last 10 pig of a drive but worth when you get there
