Great British seaside breaks: 10 best holiday parks

For endless white sands

Grannie's Heilan' Hame, Sutherland

Although north of Inverness might not instantly spring to mind when thinking of beach-holiday locations, there's plenty to recommend this remote corner. The never-ending white sands of Embo beach are one. Grannie's Heilan' Hame Holiday Park - ‘hame' to tennis, ten-pin bowling and indoor swimming by day, and dining and cabaret by night - stands just yards away from the surf. There are nine static caravans, though you can always tow in your own.
