Top 10 Beaches in the UK
We may not always have the weather to give the Speedos an airing, but Britain’s coastline is long and beautiful and studded with world-class beaches. From great sandy airstrips to idyllic, isolated coves, there’s an enormous variety to the fringes of our beautiful islands.
Away from our historic resort towns is where you’ll find some of the best UK beaches, real natural wonders with endless skies, crystal clear waters, great wildlife and walking and fantastic sea views.
They may lack the bright lights of a big holiday town, but these 10 beautiful beaches should be part of your perfect day by the sea this spring.
1 – Blackpool Sands, Devon
You won’t find any illuminations here and the beach is in fact of fine shingle, but Blackpool Sands is one of the best beaches on the beautiful south Devon coast. The Blue Flag-rated waters are clean and inviting and there are good facilities in summer, including sand pits, and kayak and board hire.
7 - Rhossili Beach, West Glamorgan
8 – Sandwood Bay, Sutherland
9 – Bamburgh Beach, Northumberland
Our British coastline is roughly around 20,000 miles, each and every one of them packed with interest and varied beauty. UK breaks, from the Devon Coast to the Isle of Arran, offer superb value with The Sun Travel’s great UK deals and 2,500+ beach hotels.
