England

There are so many wonderful beaches to visit in England, some well known but also others that are simply stunning and yet quiet in term of visits even during the peak summer months. I started this blog and directory to highlight to everyone just what is available and if you are planning a visit to the beach soon, remember all the fantastic options available.

Stay

In addition to highlighting all the wonderful beaches starting in East Anglia this blog will review the best rated local hotels nearby and bed and breakfast to help you plan your weekend get away.

Eat

Eating and going to the beach cannot be separated and that can take all forms from nice restaurants for a sit down meal to fish and chip take away or just a quaint café where you can get a hot drink and sandwich.

Sea

The sea is more than just water and waves, it is an opportunity to swim or participate in local water sports. To the best of my knowledge I will share all options available with readers so you make the most of your day out at the beach.

Bay

Some of the beaches I will be discussing have bays or are better known as fishing village. It is this amazing diversity of beaches here in England and the rest of the Britain that makes each experience unique and different from others.

Best Beaches

There are a number of amazing beaches in England and it is very hard to put them into a formal list of “best beaches” as they are all very different and people visit them for lots of reasons whether that is for the golden sand, the clear seas or arcades and amusements nearby.

Key Features

In addition to discussing the beach and surrounding food options, I will also outline toilets, parking, trains times and nearest train station for those not driving, dog walking options and interesting features at the beaches such as cliffs, sunken ships and other or interesting facts.

UK Beach

While this beach blog has initially focused on popular beaches in East Anglia and the South East we will gradually be covering the rest of Britain and UK including the West coast and of course both North and Southern Ireland. In time I will cover those familiar with most people including Blackpool and Bournemouth.
