AIBU to ask about your favourite UK beach destination?

[Missbrick1]

So in light of the fact we are experiencing a heatwave & still have a few months of Summer to go please tell me about your favourite UK beach resort/destination.

Unfortunately my knowledge is pretty limited as my parents whisked us away to their respective countries for every holiday & we therefore only had the odd day/weekend trip to the beach.

Blackpool Sands, south Devon. It’s not sandy but it’s stunning.

Shell island in Wales

Llanddwyn Island/Newborough beach on Anglesey.

North Berwick beautiful warm (ish) paddling pool and brilliant fish and chips.

Brodick better shells and sea glass to find and favourite views.

Whitstable is my absolute favourite but also love Broadstairs and Whitby.

@SallyCinnamon3009 ..where are those beaches? I was also in Cornwall last week, just gorgeous.

Horsey, Wells and Holkham in Norfolk.

Morar in Scotland.

And a shout out to the sandy beach in Broughty Ferry, the beach of my youth.

Pretty much anywhere along the Northumberland Coast.

Bamburgh beach in Northumberland, Calgary Bay on the Isle of Mull, Porthtowan Beach in Cornwall and Thurlestone Beach in Devon.

I like a quiet beach with very few facilities.

my favourite uk beaches are in the Scilly Isles just because they're deserted & beautiful. Failing that Cornwall, Camber (close to home) and so on.

Agree with pp about Weymouth, lots of Dorset generally, but also Southwold and Wells-next-the-sea. Caister, just north of Great Yarmouth is a long sandy stretch with dunes and is great for kite flying. Tenby was lovely last time I went (30 years ago) may still be nice.

Filey in Yorkshire and woolacombe in Devon

Northcott near Bude. My all time favourite.

Even though I live near a beach in the south east, my favourite uk beach is skegness, so much entertainment, cheaper too and most of the people are relatively nicer.

I used to love hemsby, Great Yarmouth, heard it’s gone down hill though, haven’t been there since I was 14.

Hayle and Kynance Cove in Cornwall for their beauty, Aldeburgh for seaside town perfect (but pebbly beach) and Hengistbury Head for sheer impressiveness of the surroundings.

Woolacombe and Croyde
Charmouth Dorset for little ones
Tenby is quite nice for grown ups as you have the town as well

Yorkshire:- we live in East Riding of, Sandsend & Whitby, North Bay Scarborough and Hornsea.
Scotland:- Carradale & Campbeltown on Kintyre Pensulia.
Wales:- Loads on Anglesey/Yves Mon many around Fishguard and St Davis
South:- Teignmouth & Shaldon and Lyme Regis

Guess we spend all our holidays at the beach.
Kids when 11 and 9, after 2 weeks in Florida, when asked for best day that summer, replied yesterday at Sandsend

Off to Hayle this Saturday, cannot wait! Introducing DS to the Towans 3 mile stretch of sandpit! He is gonna love it as much as me.

Can't beat the Yorkshire coast, it's gorgeous and something for everyone.

The beaches at Seahouses and Bamburgh.

Abroad - no litter no people hot? Well, hard to find them. I liked Bluff Beach in Panama but the waves are very high so any casual swimming is out other than a quick dip.

There are a few on Antigua which are often fairly isolated.

Bermuda had very little litter and I did long beach walks.

Last year I was on Barbuda before the devastation and there there were miles of totally isolated litter free beaches where I did my long beach walks. That was one of the best.

Broadstairs, Whitstable, Scarborough, Channel Islands

Blackpool Sands in South Devon. Not sandy so the name is a bit weird - it has tiny pebbles by the water and slightly larger ones further up. SO pretty. Fab cafe. When I die I am going to have my ashes scattered there

Cornwall definitely. St Ives has 4 beaches and is lovely. There are other beaches locally too...Carbis Bay is lovely further away Sennan Cove and Porthcurno are lovely.
