To think south of France beach clubs have ruined DH

[TeddyBearCottage]

Now he’s acting like a spoilt baby
Saying he won’t go to a normal beach and sit on a towel on the sand and he will only go somewhere he has a sunbed, a proper one

so now I’m trying to find places with beach clubs that are reasonable for this summer

any ideas ? don’t want to go to south of France again

Where on earth have you been going? I haven't come across a beach in the UK "full" of antisocial behaviour". I've been to beaches where there are some people working and selling things but a polite "no thank you" takes mere seconds and, again, I haven't been to a beach "full" of people working either.

So just to recap: he is on the garage roof

@TeddyBearCottage literally anywhere in Europe that has a load of tourists, has what you are asking for.

Is he aware that the sea isn’t exactly germ free, ie effluent, detritus from ships, decomposing fish etc.?

Corfu

Is it the wooden doors or the fact that they're on the beach?

OK that's my idea of hell (music at the beach). It totally defeats the purpose of a beach.

Kalkan in Turkey, lots of beach clubs.

Pretty much any all inclusive hotel with beach access will have a beach club, and you get all the AI perks while using it (food, ice cream, drinks, etc)

Is that what ‘beach club’ means? Padded sunbeds on the beach? I thought that was a normal holiday 🤷‍♀️

Yes, I think she means a resort, maybe AI, perhaps.

Not for what the OP is talking about.

Don't you think it's nicer to swim in the sea ?

Can’t imagine wanting to go somewhere not like that either tbh. Why is this such a big thing to you? It’s supposed to be a holiday.

I do indeed! However, I don't have concerns about chemicals or germs, by and large.

Ah ok. Yes most resorts have sun beds put out on the beach x

I wouldn't sit on a towel on the beach . It's just too uncomfortable. It was OK when I was a child . Most beaches hire out sun beds .

Yes, they seem to, for the specific use of their clientele.

Sounds like a nightmare, not perks.

I thought that's what the sea was for? And surely you don't mean a poo? If a beach day is on the cards and you think there's any possibility at all that you might need to drop the kids off at the pool, you either force it out before leaving or plan the beach for a different day.

I mean, nobody goes to the beach knowing there's a chance something's cooking up. Do they?

Food, drinks and ice cream sounds like a nightmare?!

If you have to eat the same meal at the same place the entire holiday, yes to me it is.

That’s it. The most luxuriously amazing beds were those at Ocean 2 Barbados. Padded bliss x

Not just beds on a beach for a few euros or whatever but fancy ones, some can be quite posey (imo) depending where it is, full of comforts like toilets, music, food, drinks, service etc. You pay a fee. The higher end ones are v pricey. Which is why Op doesn’t want to as it increases the holiday for a family quite a bit: for the type of ones her husband likes.
