Beach Holiday itineraries
Coast-first days with tide, sunset and water-sport timing.
Beach days are timed, not scheduled. This plan puts water sports in the morning when the sea is calmer, the beach itself in the late afternoon, and sunset at a viewpoint chosen for the date you are travelling. Shacks and seafood are picked per beach rather than per town.

Frequently asked questions
How should a beach itinerary be timed through the day?
Water sports and boat trips in the morning when the water is calmest, an indoor or shaded stop through the midday heat, the beach and a sunset point from late afternoon. Guide My Holiday schedules beach days on exactly this curve.
