1 . We partner with destinations for cleanups and conservation efforts. Our expert’s pick of the best choices will help you turn beach dreams into beach days.

Steephill Cove

This traditional fishing cove will make you feel like you’ve gone back in time, with its brightly painted beach huts and old fisherman’s cottages, lobster pots (捕虾篓) and cheery, colorful deck chairs. There is a beach cafe to the back of Steephill Cove, which serves hot and cold refreshments and food, and there are also restaurants serving locally caught seafood during the season.

Sandwood Bay

Located in the very north of Scotland, this beach is considered to be one of the most untouched in mainland Britain. Unreachable by car, the wild and wonderful beach is accessed by a popular and fairly flat 4-mile-long path from the nearest car park, which adds a sense of remoteness to this charming place.

Nanjizal Beach

Due to its more distant location, amazing Nanjizal Beach is usually very quiet, apart from those walkers who have made the hike on the coastal path from either Porthgwarra, Lands End or Sennen Cove. There are many caves to discover and the ruins of an old watermill, too.

Bamburgh Beach

At any time of year, Bamburgh Beach is one of the most dramatic in the UK, thanks to the impressive castle located on a nearby hill that overlooks the skyline. Bamburgh also has some of the best waves in the UK, which makes it perfect for body boarders. Even if that’s not your thing, simply watching from the shore can be a thrilling experience.
