Summer holidays are upon us and there is nothing better on a sunny afternoon than a beach visit! You don't have to go abroad to see a beautiful coastline, there are lots of hidden beaches around our humble island that pack a punch! Whether you're after fairground attractions or that soft sand between your toes - the UK has a lot of offer!
One of the best beaches in the country is undoubtedly Bournemouth.7 miles of luxurious golden sand, it's one of the best seaside cities in the UK. It's won awards for it's cleanliness and on a clear day you can see straight out to the Isle of Wight. With plans to build Europe's first ever artificial surf reef it's popularity is set to sky rocket!
Secondly we have a local beach for us the West Witterings, near Chichester. Gorgeous sand and beautiful water, which is great for swimming and water sports! You can even camp here in the summer, with friends and family and of course a BBQ!
Abereiddi Blue Lagoon isn't technically a beach, but it's still a fabulous seaside destination to visit this summer! This beautiful lagoon is found in Pembrokeshire and is an old quarry with a tidal channel to the sea. Surrounded by cliffs it's a wonderfully romantic spot, with it's seclusion and turquoise blue waters.
Standing in Northumberland, Holy Island is one of the spookiest and magical beaches we have to hand. Cut off from the main land twice a day by the tide, it's a hot bed for birdwatchers on the hunt for rarities that take refuge within this island's grounds. It has it's own castle and miles of deserted beach.
Holkham in Norfolk is another secret gem, surrounded by a beautifully scented pine forest. Whether you fancy a stroll or a bike ride you can enjoy endless rolling dunes and creamy sands. Those 'Shakespeare in Love' fans may remember the final scene with Gwyneth Paltrow..that was filmed here!
