I’m looking for an actual beachfront cottage in the UK ~ not one of those places that advertises a “seaview” but the sea is just a dot on the horizon. I would love to be able to step straight onto the beach and sit outside with my morning coffee, or evening wine, watching the waves.

It needs to be dog-friendly, have its own parking, and I’d prefer a cottage rather than an apartment. Definitely not St Ives though, it’s way too busy, and I can never find parking there!

I’ve been searching for ages and getting nowhere, so I’m hoping someone here might know of a hidden gem.

Any recommendations would be amazing.

Camber sands, literally in the beach. Dog friendly at the right time of year

I don’t know why but recently on here it’s like the link posts twice with the brackets in the wrong place, even though it doesn’t look that way when I type.

trying without brackets

Love this too, the house and location are wonderful. I haven't been to Mousehole in years. Thanks for sorting the link 😊

Sandbanks in Dorset also has a few houses directly onto the sand - some have double aspect sea views front and back garden as its a penninsula.

This local family company has beach front properties but there are many other companies operating in the area. https://www.rumseyofsandbanks.co.uk/

Atlanta Trevone bay. It’s stunning

If you go to this one you can wander a couple of minutes up the coast path to the "Mallory Towers" pool.
