Summer’s in full swing so soak up the sunshine and cool off on a beautiful beach! If you want to explore somewhere new, the latest stretch to open on the King Charles III England Coast Path is from Leysdown Beach to Oak Lane, Minster-on-Sea on the Isle of Sheppey, so discover a new trail on the Kent coast. We’re reaching festival fever, so check out our Events Calendar and don’t miss out. Broadstairs Folk Week celebrates its 60th anniversary, 8-15 August, while the Isle of Wight sees the Ventnor Fringe returning, 18-27 July, and in Durham there’ll be a big celebration of local produce with top celeb chefs at the Seaham Food Festival, 2-3 August.

With warmer days and longer nights, June was made for travel to the coast! Recent warm weather has caused sea temperatures to soar with some areas four degrees higher than usual. So, if you haven’t done so already, grab the swimming gear and dive in. From the epic Isle of Wight Festival to the Scarborough Fringe, June sees events in full swing and our new blog highlights the breadth of choice for families, many free. Head to Seaham on the Durham Coast for its Food Festival in August, Blackpool Carnival in July and Caribbean Fun Day Out, 22 June in Plymouth.

Is there a better month than May? Longer days, seabirds swooping into coastal cliffs, pink and yellow blooms splashed across clifftops – all bookended with two bank holidays! So, if the first bank holiday passed you by, dust off the deck chairs, pack a picnic and head to the coast. Long before the summer crowds swarm, this is the perfect time to get out on the water on a leisurely boat cruise, for a quiet paddleboard or to take the first plunge of the year.

Easter holidays are upon us, we’re blessed with not one but two bank holidays in May and even the sun’s indulging us, so don’t wait for a long summer vacation when short breaks are so much more to the point! Come for clifftop carpets of yellow gorse, scenes of bobbing seabirds and seals and bags of vitamin D with the return of al fresco dining. If you’re looking for inspiration and a bargain, check out our England’s Coast browse and book platform here.

At last, the sun’s finally made an appearance and with Easter just around the corner, it’s time to get that Friday feeling with a weekend away! Why not spend Mother’s Day on the coast? Walk off a delicious Sunday roast or afternoon tea with a stroll along the prom or a ramble along the coast path

It’s time to bag a spring stay and sometimes a couple of days is all you need! Enjoy a blaston the beach, fresh seafood by the waterside then a peaceful night’s sleep after all the sea air, thecoast is calling!

This year, ditch the unrealistic resolutions and dive into a year of health and happiness on the coast! Whether it’s a gentle stroll on the beach or an immersive plunge in the waves, even a couple of hours of fresh sea air, or blue space wellness, can lower stress and improve the mood by raising serotonin levels.
