Every year we have 52 weekends - 104 days - to ourselves, to do whatever we want. Yet how often to we actually take advantage of this precious time? 52 Weekends by the Sea is about getting out there, exploring and celebrating the best the British coastline has to offer - 52 great escapes for explorers, romantics, mums, dads and kids seeking to savour the seaside in all its moods. From the spangling showgirls of a Blackpool cabaret to the sparkling waters of the Summer Isles with sandcastles in Scarborough and fine dining at the water's edge, there's every reason to take the coast road this weekend. Based on the personal experiences and insight of two inveterate travellers and their children, this book shares the secrets of where to be and what to see all around the British coast. Illustrated with stunning photography of the best the British seaside has to offer, you really will wish you were here .
