So many of us love to spend some time near the seaside on a self catering holiday. Even more important than being near the coast though can be being near a beach where you can enjoy bracing seaside walks or even a spot of sunbathing in hot weather.
Do check how close the property is to the beach before booking, oh and remember to pack your bucket and spade! Enjoy browsing through the cottages in the UK and overseas near a beach listed below.
