If you’ve ever felt the need to escape and get out of the house, a trip to the beach is always a good solution. To help inspire you, we have compiled a list of the UK’s best beaches and some of their well-kept secrets.
Our top 4 picks of the UK’s best beaches.
The UK is a place most famously known for its red telephone boxes, double-decker buses and its capital, London. But the UK is much more than that. The largest island state in Europe, it’s surrounded by more than 31,000km of stunning coastline. From tourist hotspots to private Instagrammable havens – here are the UK’s best beaches according to us.
4. Shepherd’s Chine, Isle of Wight
Let’s start off with a real gem. Shephard’s Chine lies on the South-Western coast of the Isle of Wight. It’s only accessible by a few chines. A chine is a gorge where a stream or river flows to the sea. These features make this spot extra-unique as well as beautiful. This beach is perfect for an evening visit too. Watch the sunset by a driftwood-fire, and then try your hand at bass fishing under the stars.
3. Brighton, Sussex
Brighton is a city in East-Sussex, around 47 miles from London. It boasts something that not many places in the UK can. With a promenade lined with beach huts and eateries and a 200-year-old pier, Brighton Beach is perfect for a family day out. It will be busier than the other beaches mentioned, but it’s a fantastic option for everyone to get outside. Especially if you’re coming from London for the day.
2. Seacliff Beach, North Berwick
Located in Scotland and only 45 minutes from the Scottish Capital Edinburgh, lies one of Scotland’s most beautiful beaches. Looking up to the 14th century Tantallon castle, the beach also faces Bass Rock, a volcanic rock island, that‘s 107m high and home to a large colony of gannets.
1. Man O’ War Cove, Dorset
Man o’ war cove on the Jurassic coast is perhaps the most Instagrammable beach on our list. There are many beautiful beaches in this area, but Man o’ war cove has a special, secluded and quiet feeling. This is in part because of the 150 steep steps it takes to get down to the beach. But it’s entirely worth it to enjoy the day below the beach’s stunning limestone-carved arches.
