Introducing the chart, The Telegraph said: "Whether you favour a traditional, bucket-and-spades affair, or prefer somewhere more peaceful, the coastline is the place to be on a sunny day.
"And while some of the more remote spots require a car to reach them, many of our most spectacular beaches are perfectly accessible by train."
Troon made the list in Scotland and is a short 45 minute train ride away,
The Times, which compiled the list, added: "Close to cafes, shops and restaurants, Troon's popular beach is ideal for a summer day out.
"A day on the esplanade might include a game of hide-and-seek in the Italianate garden, or a scramble over the climbing frame in the well-equipped playground.
"Throughout the summer months, kite-surfers make it their regular spot. And the two-hour, two-mile treasure trail is a pleasing diversion regardless of the weather."
Elsewhere, TUI has announced two new city getaways departing from Edinburgh Airport.
The carrier is launching trips to Warsaw and Riga as part of its growing city breaks programme.
With packages now available to book, these destinations are ideal for any last-minute summer escapes.
Warsaw in Poland is one of Europe's most dynamic capitals, boasting Varso Tower - Europe's tallest building with a brand-new observation deck.
English seaside town to transform abandoned beach shelters into new attraction
While Riga in Latvia is famed for its amazing architecture and stunning artwork.
Chris Logan, Commercial Director of TUI UK & I said: 'The demand for TUI City breaks has never been stronger, with 61 per cent growth year on year reflecting a real urban experience desire from travellers.
"Riga and Warsaw are perfect additions to our expanding portfolio, offering a distinctive blend of history, cuisine and arts.
"Both cities have been climbing travellers' wish lists, with each offering unique attractions for foodies, culture enthusiasts and history buffs alike."

Nothing will ruin my camping trip… I hate couples having noisy sex & get revenge in a sly way, my grandkids cringe
The gran also reveals why her grandkids' play friends during camping trip is another bone of contention WHAT A PITCH Nothing will ruin my camping trip… I hate couples having noisy sex & get revenge in a sly way, my grandkids cringe Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GOING on holiday with grandparents is a treat many children look forward to, knowing they'll be spoiled rotten with ice creams and round-the-clock attention. But Emma Parsons-Reid isn't your typical sweet granny. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Emma Parsons-Reid blasts campers for hanging their undies out to dry or having noisy sex when on a camping trip with her grandkids Credit: Supplied 5 Emma reveals her grandkids believe that if they survive a camping with their gran, that they'll survive anything Credit: Supplied 5 She brings M&S food for her family to cook at home most of the time, but they might enjoy one meal out Credit: Supplied 'The children always say going camping with me is a rite of passage,' says 58-year-old Emma, from Cardiff. ''If you survive this, you'll survive anything,' is how they look at it.' Emma has exacting standards and has told off fellow campers for having sex within earshot of her grandkids. She even sees red if people hang their knickers outside to dry. 'I'm a nightmare nan 24/7 and that isn't going to change just because we are on holiday,' she warns. 'I don't like people draping underwear outside their tent or caravan. It's awful, so uncouth. 'Pack enough pants for your trip and wash them when you get home – or go to a launderette. 'You don't need pairs of pants hanging in a line like a ship's sail. No one needs to see that. It ruins the holiday photographs.' Camping has soared in popularity in recent years, with the UK camping market now worth £2.83 billion, up from £2.2 billion in 2019. A whopping 42.2 per cent of Brits go camping at least once a year according to the latest statistics. But for camping fan Emma, standards are slipping – and nothing is guaranteed to rile her more than the sound of couples getting frisky under the stars. 'I'm a broken man, but memories made' says RTE's Donal Skehan after dreamy camping trip to Irish coast with family 'People get randy when they go camping,' she says. 'I'm not sure if it's the hot nights or the light evenings – coupled with a few drinks – but I get annoyed if I hear them. 'The girls aren't silly. They know what it sounds like and it's mortifying. I get especially annoyed if the noise is keeping me awake at 2am and they're still going at it.' The next morning, Emma says she takes great pleasure in waking up couples she's heard bonking within earshot of her granddaughters – Elise, 17, Isabella, 15, Scarlett, 13, Lucy, 10, and Ivy, eight – during the night. 'Bang and clatter' 'On my way to the shower block, I'll bang and clatter and make lots of noise so they don't get a lie in. 'On one occasion, when the girls were small, I made them sing a few rounds of Row, Row, Row Your Boat really loudly, just to put a couple off.' It's usually only her two youngest grandchildren that holiday with her now. 'The older ones don't come any more and I think that's a huge relief for them,' says retired civil servant Emma, who favours Welsh coastal resorts like Porthcawl. I get especially annoyed if the noise is keeping me awake at 2am and they're still going at it 'When they talk about camping with 'Nooney', which is what they all call me, it is like they are telling a survivor's story. 5 Emma, above with a head torch, has told off fellow campers Credit: Supplied 'The two youngest get very embarrassed. You see their faces drop when I march off to tell someone off, or start complaining about the state of the site to the manager.' Emma reads fellow campers the riot act if they make noise after 10pm – and hates fire pits and barbecues. 'I don't care if they get annoyed. Looking after the grandchildren can be tiring and I just need a good night's sleep,' Emma, who holidays with her grandchildren and husband Kev 64, a retired engineer, to give her own daughter Hannah, 35, a break, says. 'And there is nothing worse than sitting downwind from someone's barbecue smoke. I don't want to get a whiff of other people's smelly sausages.' Emma packs M&S food for her family, often enjoying French sticks, ham and salad. 'Why can't we go back to how it was in the 1970s, when everyone was polite and followed some camping etiquette?' says Emma, who refuses to spoil the children with ice creams or seaside souvenirs. 'They love going into the shops, but they're full of plastic tat and I won't allow it in my tent. 'Awful' 'If they want to buy something and I think it's decent enough, I'll allow it, but I'll make them do some chores first – maybe the washing up. I'm very tight and I work to a budget. 'And they eat enough rubbish without me buying them ice creams every day. We might have one meal out, but I'll cook the rest of the time.' On one occasion, Emma suffered a slipped disc and carried a pink lilo with her everywhere, so she could lie down – much to the embarrassment of the grandkids. 'The pain was awful,' she recalls. 'We'd only just arrived and I didn't want to cut the holiday short, so I carried this everywhere we went so I could lie down on it. I couldn't sit down, I had to lie down – even in restaurants and at the arcades. 'Everyone looked at me like I was insane and the kids were embarrassed. 'On one occasion, they made some friends who were asking them why their nan was always lying down on the lilo. They hated having to explain it every time.' Who the kids play with is another bone of contention whenever they're away. 'I don't let them play with just anybody,' Emma says. 'If they meet someone, I'll go round to check out the family's tent and make sure they are appropriate. 'If they are in a caravan or a campervan I'm usually OK with that, but I will have to walk past to assess the family. If they are drinking a lot, or if there are cans lying around or knickers hanging out, I'll pull the grandchildren away. You can't be too careful. I have complained a lot, but we've had some fun times 'I certainly wouldn't want them playing with rough kids, or rude children that answer back.' In fact, if Emma's granddaughters fail to find suitable playmates, Emma thinks nothing of recruiting some herself. 'I prefer to choose their friends for them,' she says. "You'll often see me approaching more palatable kids if I see a nice family. 'I'll ask them their names and say they can play with my grandchildren if they like.' Emma often calls out slovenly campers and the state of site facilities. 'If I think someone is being too messy or leaving a lot of litter, I complain,' says Emma. 'I'm always on the phone to the owner. 'The shower blocks are often disgusting, so that is a common complaint. People often leave a mess all around the basin, but the worst is when they forget their pants and leave them hanging over a rail. Disgusting. That would definitely have me marching down to the site office. 'And I can't stand men that go to the showers with their guts falling over the top of their towels, letting it all hang out. ''Morning love,' they go, but I blank them if they are disgusting.' Despite her never-ending complaining, Emma says she and the granddaughters cherish their shared camping trips. 'The kids have the best memories of those times,' she says. "We are planning to go back to Fontygary in the Vale of Glamorgan for three nights in August." 'It's always the nightmares they remember. They'll say: 'Do you remember when Nooney did this or that?' and then fall apart laughing. 'They'll remember me telling someone off for having sex, or when the dog had diarrhoea in the campervan. 'We once parked under an acorn tree and all night the acorns dropped onto the roof keeping us all awake. 'I have complained a lot, but we've had some fun times. The kids ridicule me, but it makes me smile as I know they won't forget me when I'm dead and buried.'

Hundreds unable to leave hotspot hotel by front door as cops seal up entrance
The only way in and out of the beachfront Vivemar Hotel near Torremolinos is through the garage car-park entrance for more than 200 guests as staff say they are 'rushed off' their feet Nearly 200 holidaymakers at a seafront Costa del Sol hotel have been prevented from leaving via the front door - after local police said it was operating without proper licences were ordered by town hall bosses to seal it up. Tourists staying at the four-star hotel in the popular resort of Benalmadena Costa near Torremolinos are having to exit the establishment via a ground-floor garage. Details of the extraordinary situation emerged today after police padlocked the main entry door to the Vivemar Hote l using steel cables and put a large notice on the entrance saying 'Precintado' or 'Sealed Off' in English. Are you one of the holidaymakers staying at the hotel? Email webnews@ A receptionist at the hotel, which used to be called the Vistamar Hotel, said this evening when asked if any British or Irish guests were holidaying there: 'I'm a bit rushed off my feet at the moment to check where our clients are from but I'd say there would be because we've got a bit of everything." "There's almost 200 tourists staying here at the moment because we're nearly full. The police came this morning and sealed the front door. "At the moment the only way in and out of the hotel for staff and guests is the garage car park.' She denied reports guests had been stopped from using the swimming pool, insisting it was open as normal. Benalmadena Town Hall could not be reached last night for comment. But a spokesman told respected local paper Sur that they had instructed town hall-employed local police to seal off the front entrance after failing to find any sign of the hotel in an official regional tourist accommodation register. Raul Campos told the newspaper: 'We have asked in the Junta de Andalucia's Tourism Department and they say the company that operates the hotel is not in the official register. That means it can't be officially opened as it does not have the proper documentation.' He went on to insist council officials had warned the hotel management about today's police action at the end of March. Manager Alberto Tusquellas, who a hotel receptionist said this evening was in meetings and unavailable, has blamed things on a 'red tape' hiccup. He told local press a Spanish firm called Vive Resort Management SL began operating the hotel around a year ago with a sublease agreement using a previous operator's registration number which had now been revoked because of a bureaucratic problem they were trying to fix. The hotel operator's version of events has been contradicted by the building's owners who said the sublease was the subject of ongoing civil and criminal court action after they discovered the company they had signed a contract with to run the hotel had agreed to sublet it to another firm without their knowledge. The claim of the owner, identified locally as María Jose García Vargas, could not be independently verified last night. The hotel receptionist insisted this evening: 'The swimming pool is still open and the guests can use it as normal. 'The car park the guests are having to enter and exit the hotel via is a closed building but it's on the ground floor.' The seafront Vivemar Hotel describes itself online as a 138-room hotel with modern facilities. Online travel websites say it has a 'lush garden' and guests can 'relax by the seasonal outdoor swimming pool.' One adds: 'The on-site restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine for dinner, complemented by a bar for refreshments. A buffet breakfast is available each morning, providing a perfect start to the day.' One recent guest writing an online review said: 'The cleaning leaves much to be desired. Old room furniture and broken curtain fall out when you try to open the balcony door. I don't recommend it to my worst enemy.' Another wrote: 'No towels or bed sheets on the first day. It was hard to order even toilet paper. Little cleaning. Bathrooms don't do them daily. The dryer was broken. The reception service is abysmal and the buffet is poor quality. Not recommended.'
