If you are coming to Malta to enjoy some time on the beach, one of the most important things that you are going to have to consider is accommodation. Hotel accommodation by the beach in Malta can be very expensive, so a great alternative would be to choose a self catering holiday apartment.

Not only do these tend to be more affordable, but they can offer you a great deal more flexibility for your holiday. For example, if you are travelling with your family, an apartment is going to allow you to all stay in one place without you having to pay for multiple hotel rooms.

When it comes to accommodation, Malta has no short supply. However, it is a very popular destination, so you should make sure that you book well in advance. Once you have found somewhere to stay, booking an affordable flight is also very possible as Malta is well served by budget airlines. This makes flights to Malta easily available from most European capitals.

Enjoying a holiday by the sea is a wonderful experience, and Malta is certainly one of the best options if you are just looking for a relaxing place to come and get away from it all. That said, Malta is not going to disappoint when it comes to other options either. If you have chosen self catering apartments in Malta rather than a hotel, you are going to need to think about food. This is something that is easy to do because Malta has so many fantastic restaurants.

Whether you are looking for local cuisine, or international favourites, you are sure to be able to find it in Malta. In addition, you will find plenty of supermarkets, so you can take some food back to your apartment and cook for yourself.

If you grow tired of just relaxing on the beach, another great activity you can do is take a boat out and explore some of the attractions that are located close to the island. Boats operate regularly from the shore and you will be able to find one that will take you to whatever you want to see. Alternatively, simply taking a relaxing walk along the beach can be a wonderful way to pass some time with a loved one.

In the evenings, you will find that there are plenty of active places to get a drink along the beach. As the evening draws on, you will also find lots of nightclub opportunities on the island, if that’s what you fancy. For whatever reason you come to Malta, you’re going to find a fascinating island that enjoys wonderful weather and has a huge amount of culture, not to mention fantastic beaches.

Water Sports

The coastlines in Devon cover more than 250 miles. This affords a wide range of water-sports. If you are the adventurous, adrenaline seeking type, perhaps white water rafting or kite-surfing might be just what you desire. However, if your idea of fun is far more tame, perhaps sailing or fishing might be more what you are looking for.  The diving in Devon is hard to be beat. There are numerous wreckages and reefs to explore while underwater. If remaining on top of the water is a better idea to you, surfing is practiced year round while wakeboarding, water-skiing, and windsurfing have high seasons and low seasons.

Fishing

Fishermen and women flock to Devon from all over the world in pursuit of the many fishing opportunities. There are occasions to visit any of the many fishing ports where sea vessels take expectant anglers on day trips. There are also a myriad of streams and tributaries offering fresh water fishing if wrestling saltwater fish is not to your liking. Fishing is big business in Devon so whatever your needs or desires, it can all be met here.

Beaches

If all the activity of water-sports or fishing is not quite your style, taking a lazy afternoon to soak up the sun on the beach may be just what satisfies your needs. The large coastline offers many opportunities to do just that. The North Devon Coast and the South Devon Coast each offer unique features. The North Devon coast has hanging cliffs and sandy beaches, whereas, the South Devon coast has sandstone cliffs and pebble beaches.  Some beaches have been awarded the coveted Blue Flag award designating those beaches as some of the best and cleanest in the world.

Family Attractions

Many family attractions are available in Devon with possibly Dartmoor National Park being one of the best.  It is an excellent place for lengthy strolls where towns and villages can be explored.  It is free to get into the park so all can go freely.  Morwellham Quay provides an opportunity to step back in time to the 1860’s.  Kids and adults alike can play dress up and experience life as it was in this copper mine and family farm.  There are three theme parks that offer an array of exciting opportunities.  The Milky Way has ferret and falconry displays, the Crealy Great Adventure Park has a tidal ride that will get everyone’s heart pumping, and the Woodlands Leisure Park allows for relaxing on a lengthy toboggan ride.  Finally, if any or all members of the family are animal lovers, the Pennywell Farm provides ample opportunity to interact with various members of the animal kingdom.

If you are planning on visiting this beautiful English county with the family why not book a stay in one of the houses to rent in Devon.  The Owners Direct website has a lot for you to choose from so you are sure to find one that is ideal.
