subject: 4 Ways To See More Of Your Beach Holiday Destination [print this page] Whenever you go on holiday to a beach resort, it's likely that you will tend to be so tired and exhausted from working throughout the year that the whole week or two will be spent lounging by the pool or sea, reading a favourite book and generally just relaxing.
Whilst this sounds like many people's idea of heaven, it can mean that you've spent several hundreds or even thousands of pounds doing nothing more than lying around all day.
Although that's what you might be going on holiday for, most people would also like to do something that they can tell their friends and family about once they get home.
One of the best things you can do (which doesn't ask for you to exert too much energy), is to go exploring outside of your resort into the nearby towns, villages and even the next large resort.
The area where you're staying may have everything you'll need, but if you don't explore the local area, how do you know that there isn't something better waiting for you?
Exploring and finding out where to go can be done in various different ways, but these 4 points are great examples of just how you can do it effectively.
1. Pay for car hire - many people shy away from car hire when on holiday, especially when in Europe, primarily because the driving laws can seem a little more relaxed than in the UK.
However, as long as you are vigilant of others around you, are a safe and sensible driver and understand any non-standard driving practices or laws, it's always advised to grab a map, find a local car hire company and go exploring by yourself.
2. Ask a restaurant if they have a sister restaurant - if you find you visit the same restaurant night after night when you're on holiday, ask one of the waiters or the manager if they have a sister restaurant in a nearby town or resort.
This can be a great way to discover other areas, as after your meal you can take a look around and if it looks appealing, you can spend more time there during the day.
3. Go on a boat trip - if you want to see more of the local area's natural beauty, one of the best ways to do this is on a boat trip.
Usually not costing a substantial amount of money and often included in the price is free food and drink, a boat trip will take you around the coast of your resort and those neighbouring it, showcasing the usually stunning natural beauty of the country.
4. Ask other holidaymakers - if you're interested in car hire but don't like the idea of driving around somewhat aimlessly with just a map, ask other holidaymakers if they can recommended any places to visit.
Some of them may be new to the destination and not know about anywhere else other than the resort you're in, but there'll be a good selection of people who return year on year and who will have a great understanding of what's available near by.
