Hi

quite new to camping, and also quite rubbish at UK geography..so help appreciated! Looking for family site (1 toddler, 1 x 4yr old) VERY near a beach (preferably walking distance with babs in backpack or buggy?) that is sandy. We're on Essex/Herts borders and this is for quick weekend break so Suffolk/Essex/Kent beaches are closest but I'm not sure about sandy..? Any ideas?

I promise I'll get better at knowing my UK beaches!

thanks and best regards, Nicola

Just over the Norfolk Suffolk boarder and great for kids with 200 yard walk to the beach:-
