You’ll also find a mix of pebbly and sandy stretches all along the coast, so beach shoes can come in handy just in case!

Another Merlin Pass sale for those who missed the last one! We are loving ours so far, it’s so handy to have what feels like a “free” day out when you don’t know what to do with the kids. We’re going to Alton Towers this weekend and it was super easy to log into the pass portal and get tickets for us.
It’s also great for a trip to London as there are tons of attractions there that you can use it on 💛
