5 Holiday Destinations Close To The Sea
Spain
While your first thought of swimming in Spain might have been splashing about in the Mediterranean, you can find beaches that are just as breathtaking – and far quieter – up in the North of the country in the Costa Brava. Here you can swap overcrowded tourist hotspots with hidden beaches tucked away into small coves. And let’s not forget trying some authentic Spanish cuisine…
The Maldives
An authentic tropical paradise straight from every ocean baby’s dream, you’ll have to tell yourself each day that The Maldives really hasn’t been photoshopped! Lose yourself in turquoise waters and sugar-white beaches, with each resort hotel located on its own private island. It doesn’t really get much better than this.
Greece
In true Mamma Mia style, Greece is a major hotspot for some serious ocean time. The best part about the country? It caters for every type of holidaymaker. For those who just want to sit back and sun themselves on the sands, Crete and Rhodes are both great options. The best beaches for families can be found in Lefkada. Looking for a party as well? Mykonos and Paros will be right up your street.
Croatia
Ah, Croatia. Home of pretty much everything beautiful in Central Europe. With a variety of different seaside’s to choose from, you’ll be hard-pressed to know exactly where to start in this gorgeous country. Why not try the beaches on the south side of Brac, home to the Zlatni Rat or Golden Cape? As well as jumping into the crystal-clear Adriatic, holiday-goers also love walking in Croatia and exploring the different islands on foot. After all, they’ve certainly got the weather for it.
Florida
And sometimes, it really is worth flying halfway around the world for some breath taking beach time. Apart from Alaska, Florida has more coastline than any other state in the USA. So great are these beaches that those found on the Gulf Coast are often sold as an add-on to an Orlando package holiday – meaning you can truly enjoy everything that this crazy country has to offer.
