Does nowhere do day trips to the beach anymore that don't cost a stupid amout of money and take all day to get there ?

All I want is to be able to take the kids to the beach for a day, to watch them paddle in the sea and build a sand castle etc, but it seems I have to pay over £100 to do that, and spend most of the day on coach or train.

I remember going on day trips on coach when i was little and it never cost that much or took so long.

Will have a look, but I am pretty sure I am out of their area and we don't have our own one.

im not sure how they vary but i dont livbe in a sure start area which means i am not able to access some of the events they organise but the day trips are open to anyone i think

Looked on the site for the one nearest to me, but there is nothing listed about trips under events and last time I did try to join they said I couldn't as I was out of area anyway.

Will keep googling.
