One of many people’s favourite things about going abroad is being able to spend as much time as they like on the beach, getting a tan and making the most of the beautiful ocean.

Finding the perfect beach holiday

When it comes to choosing the best place for a holiday, it can be difficult to find the best place, because you’ve got the golden beaches of Benidorm, the endless sea in Cyprus, and the exciting water activities in Ibiza, and the choice is all yours!

To help you make a choice, the best thing to do is consider what type of holiday you are looking for. If it’s a family holiday you’re planning, which includes young children, you might want to pick somewhere like Cyprus or Benidorm because they provide the perfect mixture of beautiful beaches and places to visit.

If you are more into seeing the sights during your holiday, Cyprus is also a good choice because of its rich history. There are many ancient historical and archaeological sites to visit, making it perfect for history buffs. Cyprus also has the relaxing side too so you can enjoy the beach as well as the interesting facts.

Indeed, a real beauty of Cyprus is that it appeals both to those visitors who want to while away time at the beaches and bar, while also offering plenty for the members of the family who want to quench their thirsts for culture and history. The kids might well prefer the sand and water, but it’s worth venturing into the capital city, Nicosia, while in Cyprus to take in its art galleries, places of worship, museums and one-of-a-kind monuments like Buyuk Han – which acted as a meeting and trading place during mediaeval times.

Benidorm, while best known for its seaside and red-hot weather, shouldn’t be overlooked in terms of its sightseeing opportunities either. No trip there is complete without seeing the elegant Iglesia de San Jaime in its full splendor, as well as the peculiarly shaped Castillo Conde de Alfaz theatres.

The capital city of fun, Ibiza, is perfect for young people as well as old, meanwhile. It has an active nightlife as well as a fun-filled daytime, meaning you will always get the most for your money on the Balearic Island.

There are plenty of package holidays and other holidays on the Co-op Travel website, and the company’s excellent levels of service mean that it is a focal point for many Brits looking to book a holiday on the beach.
