7x the best farm vacations by the sea

Do you also love a vacation by the sea? Nice with your feet in the sand, face in the sun and walking through the surf. A vacation by the sea with children is actually the best thing there is. Not to mention dragging the kids' swimming gear, scoops, buckets and sunscreen :-).

We have a few farms close to the sea where you are immersed in farm life, but you can also enjoy sun, sea and beach. Best of both worlds! And of course the ideal option for doubters who cannot choose between beach or countryside.

A farm vacation with sun, sea and beach

On our farms by the sea you can enjoy farm life with the beach just a stone's throw away. Sleep in a luxurious, cozy and fully equipped glamping tent. With or without bathroom, you choose. During the day you go out with the farmer, cuddle the animals, the kids build huts in the hay barn and together you playfully learn everything about the farm. Together you enjoy farm life, but you also have all the time for yourself while the kids explore the farmyard.

How fun is it to combine this with building a sandcastle or swimming in the sea to cool off from the hard work on the farm. By dinner time you light the BBQ and for dessert you roast marshmallows by the campfire. After watching the sun set on your own porch, crawl under the wool in the comfortable beds.

In the morning you'll wake up to the mooing cows and get the day off to a great start with a run along the beach. Or...just a walk for the less sporty among us. One thing is for sure: after this you will be ready for another unforgettable day on the farm.
