Morning

For me if you want a beach holiday - cracking hotel - look at
a) Saunton Sands Hotel - Saunton Sands - between Braunton and Croyde in North Devon (5*):
b) Fistral Beach Hotel & Spa Esplanade Road, Newquay Cornwall (4* - should be a 5*).

Both beaches are beautiful and sandy - great teachers at both beachs and both have permanent RNLI lifeguards (bit of peace of mind with kids about).

Thanks I'll take look. We might end up staying in the UK. I was thinking Europe somewhere, Portugal or the Canary Islands.

Hey Roughneck, yeah Id agree with Graywig. Im from North Devon - so would recommend Saunton Sands for sure. You dont need to stay in Saunton as its generally expensive. Stay in Braunton and drive to the beach, it's only 3 miles away. Plenty of good surf schools and hire. If you're thinking of Europe - yes Portugal is great (Id recommend Ericeira). The canaries is also an option too (Lanzarote) - where you can find cheap deals. Your guaranteed sunshine :-)
