I love spending time at the beach, and I especially enjoy vacations at resorts and hotels that are right on the beach. That way, we can have fun in the water and the sand, and then easily head back to our room to get away from the sun. My family also enjoys trying out different water sports, and staying on the beach is a great way to experience them. These are the best family beach hotels that we have visited (check out this post for tips on cheap family beach vacations).

I returned from the Martinhal Sagres Family Beach Resort last month, and I can’t stop thinking about my stay. Located right on the beach in Sagres, Portugal, this family-friendly resort is the perfect place for a European beach family vacation. There are a variety of different accommodation types, from standard rooms to large villas, as well as a full array of family activities. Combine a stay here with a stay in Lisbon to have both a city and a beach vacation.
