Where To Go on a Summer Beach Holiday
It might have been a while since you had a couple of weeks to kick back and spend some quality time at the beach, it is the time of year to recharge the batteries and do nothing but find a perfect beach and relish in it.
Whether it is closer or further from home, we will know exactly the sort of places that tick the box. Closer to home Europe will always be an ideal contender with excellent weather and too far to travel. The Atlantic Coast of Morocco is especially good in the summer, as too Tunisia. The Middle East is a little too hot in the summer months, so if you want some long-haul sun then the Far East has some superb options weather-wise, from Fiji & French Polynesia to Bali and the East Coast of Thailand and parts of Vietnam.
Wonderfully romantic and welcoming, Bali is one of the most charming islands in this part of the world.
