White Sand Holiday Cottages are a collection of attractive, traditionally-styled cottages that have been furnished and equipped to a high standard, combining modern luxuries with traditional design for the perfect seaside retreat in a village-style development just a few minutes walk from Camber Sands beach.

‘Beside the Sea' offers spacious accommodation over 3 floors for up to 6 guests.  The house is ideal for families and groups with an unusual and convivial open-plan kitchen, dining and living area on the first floor with lovely views and romantic sunsets over the marshes from the Juliet Balcony.   There is a fresh, seaside theme throughout with luxurious touches such as Egyptian cotton bed linen and fluffy towels from The White Company.  The pebbled patio garden is perfect for barbecues on summer evenings and is fully-enclosed so little ones are safe to play.  For ‘big-kids' who like to bring their ‘toys' with them on holiday, the large, secure, integral garage is ideal for storing the likes of surf boards, golf clubs or bicycles, and drying wet-suits.  By summer 2008 guests will also have use of broadband internet connection at no extra charge.

Camber Sands beach is a two-and-a-half mile stretch of golden sands enclosed by picturesque dunes less than 90 minutes from Central London. It is being newly rediscovered as a UK holiday destination of choice and was voted number 9 of the 100 Best Beaches in the World by The Sunday Times Travel Magazine.  The unspoilt beauty of the beach as well as its sheer size have made it a popular location for fashion photo shoots and films including doubling as the Sahara Desert in a ‘Carry On' film and as the Dunkirk evacuation beaches in several war epics. At low tide the sea can be as much as half a mile from the dunes which makes it a popular location for horse-riding and kite-buggying. 

With constant winds coming straight off the sea and from the vast expanse of the Romney Marshes, Camber has become a popular destination for watersports enthusiasts while the west winds but shallow sea make it a great venue for kite- surfing.  Windsurfing, kitesurfing, waterski-ing, wakeboarding and jet ski-ing are all available locally either from the beach or on a large coastal lake just outside Camber. Sailing on the river Rother is available only 3 miles away.  

For swimming, the beach boasts a yellow flag award from the MCS, the highest UK award for water quality standards. Golf lovers are well catered for with an impressive 44 courses within a 30 mile radius.  Tennis courts and bicycle hire are also available locally. There are many local walks with naturalist and historical points of interest.

The village of Camber has a couple of pubs including The Dunes café and restaurant, and the award-winning brasserie at The Place which services delicious simple dishes made from  local, free range and organic ingredients.  The delightful, medieval town of Rye (4 miles from Camber) also offers an excellent selection of pubs, cafés and restaurants.  Alternatively buy and barbecue your own fresh seafood!
