A new survey has revealed that babies in Britain are more likely to visit a beach abroad now before they actually visit one in the UK.
The findings, by sunshine.co.uk, involved 2,000 parents of children aged 18 months or younger who had been on holiday within the last year.
When asked if they had taken their baby to a beach abroad before visiting the seaside in the UK, 55% of parents said yes. These parents were then asked why, to which 32% said they felt that beaches in the UK were 'less picturesque'. A further 17% said a holiday abroad was a cheaper option for them than the cost of a UK break.
Participants were then asked of the destination they had chosen for their baby's first holidays overseas. The most popular destinations were found to be Tenerife (19%), Lanzarote (15%), Portugal (13%), Gran Canaria (9%), and Majorca (8%).
Elsewhere, the poll discovered that 12% of parents will go on holiday together within the first year of their baby's life – without taking the child with them.
Commenting on the findings, Sue Anderson, sunshine.co.uk, said: "When you have a baby, it doesn't mean that holidays have to go on hold for a while. Many parents think this is the case, but actually it can be a really good idea to have some time away together as a family.
"The parents who said that a beach break abroad was more affordable for them than a UK holiday hit the nail on the head; it can be really costly getting accommodation in the UK and there just aren't the same kind of experiences available on our shores, like all-inclusive breaks with pretty much guaranteed sunshine."
