The best beaches in England on TripAdvisor – as country basks in mini heatwave

BRITS have been flocking to the coast as a trip to the beach is no longer banned after lockdown restrictions were eased this week.

The best beaches in England, as voted for by Brits, are mainly found in two parts of the country, according to TripAdvisor - Northumberland and Cornwall.

Of the top ten, according to traveller rankings on TripAdvisor, nine of them are in one of the two regions in England.

The number one beach, however, is in Norfolk, with Horsey Beach near Great Yarmouth coming out on top.

The rest of the highest ranking coastal favourites are either in holiday hotspot Cornwall or in Northumberland.

To determine traveller ranking, TripAdvisor collates positive reviews to rank the beaches.
