Cheap Beach Holidays with On the Beach
Bigger better beachier

What do we love about beaches? Sand? Well yes, of course. Sea? To cool off, obviously. Sun? Absolutely - because no one likes a shady beach, am I right? Nothing beats that feeling of leaving your hotel and literally stepping directly onto the sand, or that moment the sea takes your breath away as you dunk your shoulders under. Heck, we even like that little crunch of sand you get when try to eat ANYTHING on the beach. Call us crazy, but a beach just makes everything better. Don’t you think?
