ROUND-UPS

Places by the sea (with summer availability)

View from the deck at Villa Alto Mare, Kefalonia

Published 15th April 2026

Dates are booking up fast but we've found 21 great places by the sea - somehow still with some summer availability.

These are places just made for early morning swims, golden beachy afternoons and back garden BBQs with a glass of something cold.

So if you fancy a lazy week in a suntrap Cornish cottage, or heading to the wild Atlantic coast of Scotland, the soft sandy beaches of Wales, or maybe the islands of Greece - take a look before they're all booked up.
