There's a lot of coastline wrapped around this isle – over ten thousand miles of it, in fact. Factor in Britain's astonishing variety of landscapes and you have a region whose beaches range from epic strands to tiny notches chipped from cliffs. Here are the best beaches in the UK.
The information in this article is inspired by the The Rough Guides guidebooks — your essential guides for visiting the world.
Small but exquisitely formed, Porthcurno’s wedge of white sand, surrounded by ragged cliffs and framing a sapphire bay, creates an improbably idyllic scene. Nor is Porthcurno just a pretty face; the cliff-top Minack Theatre hosts open-air performances, while a museum celebrates the birth of transatlantic telegraphy here in 1870. Staggering beauty, culture and history all in one spot makes this one of the best beaches in the UK.

Don’t forget your mask and snorkel: seals bob among kelp forests in the clearest bluest water in the archipelago.

Barafundle is among the best beaches in the UK – scalloped into the Pembrokeshire cliffs – and makes a fabulous picnic spot. Space has a lot to do with it. The walk here from Stackpole Quay keeps crowds to a minimum and gives Barafundle the frisson of a shared secret.
Shallow seas and shelter from prevailing winds also score points. But the clincher? Superlative sands that are just perfect for sand castles.

There’s no better model for sand-castle-making than the storybook silhouette of Bamburgh Castle. It rises behind the pale sand of this pristine beach, which stretches into the distance beneath a pale pure sky and extends a mile out to sea at low water.
Add in the romantic outline of Holy Island at its northern end and it is a magnificent
