Best beach for rock pooling

Please can you recommend a beach perfect for this?

We have family visiting from overseas and their DCs would love to do this!
When our own DCs were that age, we spent summers in Cornwall and Devon but I"m hoping the MN collective will save me a 7-8 hr drive by suggesting somewhere closer.
We are in middle England, so happy to drive half up to that distance.

Robin hoods bay in North Yorkshire, or any of the rocky beaches around there

Thank you @ShakaWhenTheWallsFell
We have been there, but not during good weather.

I was going to suggest several beaches in Cornwall and Devon... but see you don't want to travel that far.
