Musketeer Gripweed Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Looking for the best options for preferably a beach based long weekend in the sun in July/August. The cheaper and closer the better. I'd go to the Canaries for any longer, but a near 5 hour flight for 3/4 nights seems a bit daft. Looked at Ibiza already, but the prices are mental. I then thought Jersey, but not really guaranteed the weather there. Any sensible suggestions would be appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not France but Portugal is a relatively short flight and wasn't hugely expensive when I went last year. Algarve for something beach based, or Lisbon/Porto for a city break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doulikefish Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Faro/Alicante both with cheap flight options and most folk that fly into there move on to other resorts and don't stay there so hotels quite cheap, Barcelona also has a great beach Sounds mad but Bournemouth/ Brighton are ok for weekends but quite pricey at weekends Or left field Holland has some decent wee beach towns less than 30 mins from Amsterdam 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd seriously consider Jersey or Brittany, you'd be really unlucky not to get good weather. Spain and Portugal could be 40 plus degrees if you were unlucky there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago (edited) Salou sprang to mind, only nominating as someone had says they're not long back from there and loved it. Might be worth a wee look, she says it was a pretty comfortable flight and all, only 2hrs30mins away.
