beach holiday

Sandy shore getaway

A beach holiday is a vacation spent at or near a seaside location, typically involving swimming, sunbathing, and relaxation.

The term is more common in British English; Americans tend to say beach vacation or simply going to the beach.

We booked a beach holiday in Spain for August.
