Best Beaches In United Kingdom


by Aaron Maurette


The distinctively diverse British shoreline is secluded, spectacular, windswept and sandy - so pick a winner from the best beaches in the world.

Blackpool Sands, Devon: Just around the corner from Dartmouth, Blackpool Sands is known for its clear waters. Backed by heavily wooded cliffs, this crescent-shaped beach is one of the prettiest in the area.

Llanbedrog, Gwynedd: This sheltered beach between Abersoch and Pwllheli looks like a great spot for messing about in a boat, being the most sheltered beach in North wales. It also boasts brightly coloured beach huts, set back in a row behind the beach.

St Bees, Cumbria: The ancient village of St Bees has one of Cumbria's most popular rural beaches. It is also the start of the scenic coast-to-coast walk, a challenging but very popular 300km route linking St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay on the Yorkshire coast.

Bournemouth, Dorset: In the height of summer, you could be sharing this 11km-stretch of sand with up to 100,000 people, but it's still a family-friendly place to enjoy the sea and sand. Bournemouth's beaches were the first to introduce the family-friendly Kid zone scheme.

New Quay, Wales: Set at the southern end of Cardigan Bay, New Quay is a small picturesque but popular seaside destination for the whole family. The village and surrounding area features, expansive safe sandy beaches, coastal walks and also its family of Bottlenose Dolphins, that remain here throughout the year.

Sennen Cove, Cornwall: Sennen Cove is a small hamlet with a few small shops and caf?s, a pub and some galleries. The scenery is beautiful and there are several very enjoyable cliff walks from the cove including one of about a mile to Land's End. Whitesands Beach is one of the cleanest in Europe with plenty of space for both swimming and surfing.

West Sands, Scotland: The West Sands has gained world fame from the movie "Chariots of Fire". In the opening scene, as the British Olympic team is training, they run along the West Sands. Sadly the movie wrongly credits the scene to Broad Stairs, Kent.
