We know that this is top of most peoples list, but swimwear is extremely important to remember if you’re planning to use our indoor and outdoor swimming pools or even when taking a trip to our local beaches to have a paddle.

Don’t forget your spare clothes or beach towel either!

5. Some Loose Change

It’s almost impossible avoiding the ice cream hut or local shops whilst out exploring so having a few pounds spare will add some extra excitement to your day trip!

Take a look around Paignton Pier on our local beach which has arcades, fun games for older kids and small rides for toddlers.

Feeling peckish? We’re located in an area known as England’s seafood coast and you can enjoy freshly caught seafood straight from the sea to your plate. You can’t also beat the smell of the seaside whilst tucking into some fish & chips with the feel of the sand between your toes looking out across the sea.

6. Entertainment

Beverley Holidays football kids

Beverley Holidays has a number of great on site pre bookable activities and evening entertainment however, it’s always a good idea to bring some of your own entertainment with you just in case!

Indoor activities are always fun so why not bring some board games, cards or movies in case of a rainy day. It’s also a good idea to bring outside games such as a football or even a rounders kit, for some competitive family fun!

7. Camera
