Seeking a last minute escape and a way of using some free train tickets, we sought out a beach escape on the South Coast. We had no real idea of where we wanted to go, simply that it should be walking distance to the beach and accept a dog - obviously!
As of Boxing Day we had not found anything, but at about 6pm we found 'The Warrens' - a lovely little beach themed house in the village of Camber, near Rye. We phoned the owners, who were thoroughly enjoying their Boxing Day meal - and explained we were looking for a last minute getaway. They were happy to let us have the whole four bedroom house for a very good deal starting the next morning. As you can see - it was a lovely little hideaway.
Camber Sands is a 2.5 mile long and half a mile wide (at low tide) sandy beach with a long stretch of dunes as well. It is quite a busy place in the summer, but the last week of December is pretty empty - mostly populated by just dog walkers and windsurfers.
The solitude was exactly what we wanted in order to have some good quality beach time with Guinness. Besides the extreme wind, which caused some serious ear flapping, he was extremely excited to run, swim and chase his toys on the beach.
He particularly enjoyed playing in the dunes - see video at the end of this post for some live action!
Even though we were only down in Camber for two days it was very peaceful and a lovely way to get away from it all.
Here are a few videos of our excursions on the beach and in the dunes, enjoy!

Great photos! Loved the videos and shots of you all. You got some very artistic photos of the natural beauty around you as well.
The cottage looked charming!
Glad you had a mini break and that Guinness seemed happy and full of energy.
Love,
Mom and Dad
