There's little more delightful than a sunny day in England and with the South East being the UK's sunniest region, there are plenty of activities to enjoy the outdoors.
Whether it's taking the kids out to enjoy a warm summer day or for a crisp winter walk, to enjoy the virbrant colours of autumn or to explore beautiful spring gardens, you'll never be short of things to do on a sunny day.
The South Coast is awash with Blue Flag beaches, offering safe, clean environments to relax or cool off in the water. Away from the coast, the South East is blessed with a beautifully diverse countryside and some of England's best country parks for family days out.
Enjoy a choice of more than 100 outdoor activities perfect for sunny days from the sporting to the sedate or find dog friendly things to do with facilities to ensure your four legged friend doesn't overheat.
UK beaches have so much to offer whether you are looking to have a beach holiday or just have some fun with the family.

These include Margate Main Sands, Viking Bay Broadstairs and Ramsgate Main Sands. The packs are exclusive to Thanet and brimming with games, activities and equipment, so you learn about the coast and heritage while you play.
