This family's experience:

Activities: We went to the beach in Dog's Bay. The children were happy. We found a sheltered spot there and the sun did the rest to heat us up

Highlights: It is worth walking to the end of the beach. Children do not need much to be happy: carrying stones from A to B, barefoot, toes in the cold water ✨
