Beautiful clean sand stretching for miles; views of the Isle of Wight and the chalk cliffs of the Isle of Purbeck; acres of dunes and heathland managed by the National Trust; very few intrusive facilities (a van selling tea and ice creams appears sporadically in Summer). Popular naturist section.
Plus many attractions nearby for rainy days.
Easiest to take the ferry from Sandbanks, Poole. Buses run from Bournemouth to Swanage via the ferry, and take priority.
Gay hotel/self catering resort.
Friendly staff, great atmosphere around the pool. Convenient for bars, restaurant, beach.
Opposite Cita Centre (avoid rooms next to the road if you are a particularly light sleeper).
Playa del Ingles, Gran Canaria
The Schlossberg rises out of the centre of Graz, and as the name suggests, is a hill with the remains of a castle on it. The views across the city are excellent, and sitting outside the cafe drinking beer is an excellent way to relax.
There is both a lift up the inside of the hill and a funicular for those who can't face the walk.
Beautiful clean lake with extensive space around it for sitting and sunbathing. Includes FKK area.
North of the city centre, accessible by car, on on the 172 bus.
