White Sand Holiday Cottages are a collection of attractive, traditionally-styled weather-boarded cottages that have been furnished and equipped to a high standard, combining modern luxuries with traditional design for the perfect seaside retreat. The cottages are ideally located in a new village-style development just a few minutes walk from Camber Sands beach.
The Beach Retreat has been furnished in harmony with the surroundings in bright seaside colours and equipped with guest's every need in mind including a welcome basket on arrival, fluffy towelling bathrobes, Body Shop toiletries, i-pod docking station and broadband internet connection. There is everything you need for the beach at the cottage including games, deck chairs, a picnic hamper, cool box, parasol and beach towels. There is also plenty of indoor entertainment provided including a flat screen TV with Freeview, DVD player with DVD library, CD library, board games and books.
Camber Sands beach is a two-and-a-half mile stretch of golden sands enclosed by picturesque dunes only two hour's drive 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 whilst the west winds and shallow sea make it a great place 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. There is also sailing on the river Rother 3 miles from Camber.
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 natural 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 offering a range of delicious 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!
