What's the best beach in the UK?

[catinboots99]

I've only ever been to shit beaches in this country but I'm sure there are some beautiful ones and I'm keen to explore 🏖

Glad we're talking about beaches! I'm about to rent a cottage at Taliesin which is half way between Aberystwyth and Mahynlleth. Is there a good dog beach with lots of space, parking and easy access?

South of France

Can't believe no one has mentioned Poppit Sands! The northern part of the Pembrokeshire coast has some wonderful beaches, which are often quieter than the better known places further down the coast

thighofrelief101 Fairbourne is close to there and precisely what you describe!

Probably others too...

Pembrokeshire, Barafundle bay.

We thought the beaches in Norfolk were lovely, Wales knocks them all into a cocked hat!

Caswell Bay nest Swansea in Wales.

Near not best!

Joss Bay.

Louisa Bay at Broadstairs- a town beach with sand and fab rockpooling and a cafe and it’s never busy.

Gower - just got back from a week there. Stunning beaches. Rhossili Bay, Oxwich Bay, random ones accessed by foot. Rock pools, cafes, surfing and other water sports. Will go back one summer when it's warm enough.

Northumbria too. Outer Hebrides. Suffolk, Norfolk.

Holkham Beach
Studland Bay
Joss Bay

Mesmeri thank you 😊

Croyde Bay
Three Cliffs Bay
Branscombe...pebbles
Blackpool Sands

Although Three Cliffs is beautiful, I’d be wary of swimming there. Ditto Llanmadoc/Whiteford burrows. Don’t swim there when the tide is on its way out unless you know what you are doing.

I got caught in A bad rip at 3 cliffs years ago. Honestly thought for a few minutes I wasn't going to make it back.

My mum, who grew up in North Gower, always said ‘’Only swim when the tide is in’ about the North side beaches.
