Where is the absolute best beach in the U.K.?

[BathNotBath]

and why is it the best?

Would like some ideas for where I’ve missed and where I must go. A bucket and spade list.
( Children grown and flown. Got some dogs. Camping good. Like quiet and big skies and peace)

I have a very soft spot and fond memories of Oxwich bay. sand dunes. BBQs and sleeping out. Shooting stars. Miles of empty sand.

Bamburgh

Fraisthorpe

Bamburgh or Beadnell

Witterings, West Sussex or Margate.

Beaches in Northumberland are stunning my favourite is Bamburgh and Embleton.

West wittering. So lucky I live so close.

Beaches in Northumberland and The Outer Hebrides.

Cattersty sands or Hunamby gap are the best in Yorkshire.

Just don't tell anyone else.

Ross Sands (Northumberland) and Kiloran Bay (Colonsay, Inner Hebrides)

Saltburn

Fidden Farm, Isle of Mull. Absolute perfection- and because of the constant sea breeze , no midges!

Tynemouth and Saltburn

Rhosilli

West Wittering or the beaches of Pembrokeshire

Sand or stones?

You could do a tour of Kent -

sandy - Camber sands, Joss bay, Margate, Dymchurch etc - all have very different vibes

stone - Whistable, etc

Harris on the outer Hebrides, so beautiful, I wild camped there but there is a proper campsite if you want.

Luskentyre on the Isle of Harris is meant to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It's on my bucket list.

The Northumberland coast is dreadful, yiu don't want to waste your time going there, especially not Low Newton

Mull, Harris, Barra or Northumberland for beauty.

But they're all feckin cold!
So Gower, Pembrokeshire or lamorna in Cornwall.

Great shout Ethelfromnumber73 for Ross Sands. Lovely walk in, Holy Island and Lindisfarne to the left, Bamburgh Castle to the right, empty white sand for miles. Even better than Bamburgh (which in itself is fabulous).

But there's one that's even better: Sandwood Bay, Sutherland. Breathtaking

Holkham

Bamburgh is top of my list. Was almost there a few years back but family emergency called me back. Also Uhtred.

sand looks best but I really do prefer stones.

Polzeath, Freshwater East and Rhossili.

Traigh Mhòr on the Isle of Lewis. Huge, beautiful, perfect sand, hardly any people.

Perenporth - my absolute happy place

Echo those on the Northumbrian coastline, they are stunning ❤️
