where is your favourite seaside place in england to take a baby?

[lionbeast]

ideally with a nice sandy beach, excluding devon and cornwall as its too far from milton keynes

Dorset is nice.
We went for a long weekend to a place called Studland about 3 weeks ago. We hired a cottage and there were lovely long sandy beaches and easy walks. We even managed to take the buggy with us on some of them.

north norfolk coast is lovely beautiful wide sandy beaches how old is your baby?
make sure you take a wind break though

Does it have to be England? South Wales (Pembrokeshire) is nice.

(Every coast is a long way from milton keynes )

Cornwall - every time...

Weymouth beach is lovely. Sandy, shallow safe. Also punch and judy etc. We love it there.

Weymouth? Sandy beaches. Shallow water. Lovely place

Snap!

I was just 5 seconds too slow dammit

GREAT YARMOUTH IS JUST WELL............ GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Sidmouth is the best and my mum lives there! Lovely seafront with no horrible flashing arcades. Lovely pebbly beaches with sandy parts for buiding sand castles, lovely friendly people and fantastic shops, old fashioned but I love it.

oops should have read op properly!

Studland Bay near Poole. Long sandy beaches, safe waters and you can hire sand buggies from the NT shop at Middle Beach.

And you can go nekkid too milf

Southwold has sandy beach,lovely town and pier and not too far from MK.

You can indeed Orm but where would you keep your money for your ice-cream

oh thanks for all the ideas, im looking them up on the web now
about time i had a treat
please add more, if you can think of any !

Broadstairs in Kent (Viking Bay) is a lovely sandy beach, not too long and near cafe's and restaurants. A lovely small town, and not over commercialised. It's got character and much nicer than its neighbour Margate!

Joss Bay

Minnis Bay.

Broadstairs

Anywhere on the Dorset coastline, although they aren't all sandy beaches. Weymouth is good but can get VERY crowded in summer.
