We formulated a rolling wish list<\/a> for when lockdown eased. Visiting beaches was high up there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The girls love beaches; shingle, sandy or rocky, it doesn’t matter. For post-April 12th of the Easter holidays \u2013 as restrictions began to lift – we booked an AirBnB in St Leonards, East Sussex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A change from four walls <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It was fever pitch excitement all round just for the fact we were getting a change of scene for a few days. Having the freedom to travel for an hour and a half to a different location suddenly felt amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was wonderful to be right on the seafront and have great views from our accommodation. Pool and ping pong tables really made it for the kids. It was big on holiday vibes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beaches<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aside from the beaches at Hastings and St Leonards<\/a>, which have plenty of facilities, eateries and things to do, we also visited Camber Sands and Pevensey Bay (which is where William the Conqueror landed in 1066). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camber Sands<\/a> is unique out of these for having a sandy beach and great dunes to explore and have a game of hide and seek in. We played French cricket and boule and had cocktails, ice-cream and fish and chips on the beach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entertainment <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whilst the arcades of Hastings were still shut, there was plenty to entertain. The girls are big fans of adventure golf and the three courses didn’t disappoint. The trampoline park was a hit as was the pier. We were able to go into non-essential shops again so the girls were able to satisfy another wish list entry: visiting an antique shop; St Leonards and Hastings Old Town<\/a> boast many. It was so nice to be able to peruse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
