beach holidays
Sandy shore getaways
Beach holidays are vacations centered on coastal leisure—swimming, sunbathing, and seaside relaxation.
The term is more common in British than American English, where "beach vacation" predominates.
We booked a beach holiday in Spain.
The phrase evokes package tours to warm destinations, resort hotels, and escape from dreary weather.
