Last weekend, we spent three nights camping in Dorset with friends. While there, we visited Sandbanks. I had vaguely heard of Sandbanks, and basically knew that it was a peninsula and that it was a lovely long stretch of beach. We soon discovered that finding parking on a sunny weekend was not going to be easy (if you go, get there early!). The various men dropped us ladies and children off and then met up with us. Husband got royally lost and met up with us much later. But once we were all together, we had a lovely time.
Moozles and Dubz made sandcastles and frolicked in the icy cold sea. Husband flew the kite, but then it hit a woman in the face and I yelled at him, so back to the sea they went. Moozles went for a kayak ride with our friends and we ate ice cream. Then it was time to go. Husband got sunburned as usual. And I even got sunburned on my neck (who knew brown girls could burn in the UK??!!). We will definitely visit Sandbanks again, but next time we will get there for 10am.

Wow what a gorgeous day you had – the sky is so blue! 🙂
It looks like bliss. Except for the kite flying incident!
That looks busy but gorgeous down on the beach. I’ll say snap as we did just the same here in Cornwall, it’s lovely to have a little summer sun for the holidays
The beach looks so inviting, lovely photos x
Beautiful photos, I love the one with the kite and blue sky. Sums up Summer perfectly
Thank you for linking up
What beautiful photos. It looks like you all had a lovely day, despite the various disasters!
Love the last photo 🙂
Sandbanks is about 20 minutes away from me. We tend to go out of season or in the evenings. It’s a great way for families (of all ages) to spend time together 😀
Wonderful there isn’t it, we need to take Monkey as I haven’t been since he was born – eek #MySundayPhoto
How blue is that sky? Absolutely gorgeous!!! #MySundayPhoto
That weather looks perfect! Sandbanks is just one of the best places to go 🙂
It sounds like you had a fantastic day! The weather was brilliant!
Gorgeous photos x
This did make me chuckle, I always tell my colleagues who aren’t from the UK that when they say they plan to go to the beach at the weekend they need to get there early! Sounds like you had a really fun time and look at that gorgeous sky! X #MySundayPhoto
We normally always go early. Such a fail this time, but we’ve learned our lesson! x
I just visited a different beach in Dorset and its so pretty there and yes parking is can be a nightmare! #mysundayphoto
I’ve only ever past through Sandbanks. It really looks like a wonderful place to holiday #mysundayphoto
