Winchelsea Sands Holiday Park rests in an enviable position, with its name giving away an excellent location by a beach. The site rests a short stroll from the beach, providing guests with an ideal base for fun-filled days out with the family. Sun, sea and sand are the orders of the day at this well-equipped and spacious site, so go ahead and treat the kids to afternoons of building sandcastles, frolicking on the beach and enjoying dips in the calm ocean waters under the supervision of an elder. Once you’ve had your fill of the ocean, make your way to the lively town of Rye, one of the medieval ports with a long history of smuggling through the centuries. There are excellent places to grab a bite, including the 12th-century Mermaid Inn, frequented by the notorious Hawkhurst Gang in 18th-century, now an award-winning restaurant with medieval-style art inside. The kids will enjoy A Smuggler’s Adventure at the St Clements Caves after the meal. There is plenty to explore on the holiday site, stuffed with things to do for all ages and abilities. Sign the nippers up for kid’s clubs, or let them burn pent up energy on the adventure playground, followed by a refreshing dip in the heated outdoor pool. Head to the Lobster Pot Club for live entertainment, or let the kids potter around the games room. An on-site restaurant offers takeaway, and barbeques are encouraged on the premises. Dogs are welcome throughout the year.
