United Kingdom
Widemouth Bay is quintessential English seaside. A huge expanse of sea and sand welcomes you as you drive into the bay. The Bay View Inn is a great, friendly pub/restaurant and has good reasonably priced rooms, including family rooms with DVD players, comfy beds and terraces overlooking the ocean. It's a popular place for the locals and gets busy but at 11PM all goes quiet and a good night's sleep can be had with just the sound of waves to help you drop off. The Bay has a surf school, local shop selling fresh seafood, good cafe on the beach and a charming old-fashioned 50's fresh fish and chip van for cheap and cheerful evening suppers.

Bude is a beautiful part of Cornwall and the Falcon Hotel is one of the friendliest places to stay. It's right next to the canal (which offers great opportunites for those interested in fishing) and has great views. The rates are really reasonable so it's good for families. Enjoy a cold beer from the lively bar and let the kids explore the beautiful walled gardens.
