10 best child friendly holidays by the sea

Let them go wild

Gower Peninsula, Swansea

On this day at the seaside with a difference, outdoor adventure company Dryad Bushcraft delivers its guests by boat to a beautiful and isolated beach where they're abandoned - fortunately, along with a bushcraft expert who is on hand to teach the skills required to survive in the great outdoors. Learn how to light a fire, build a shelter and find lunch on the shore, such as mussels, whelks and marsh and rock samphire. Recommended for teenage children and their families, the one-day course costs £80 for adults and £60 for under-16s, including all equipment, lunch and safe return to civilisation. Overnight courses are also available
