Best beach in Uk

[Nottyboy]

So many different types of beach.
I loved Sango Sands, Ceannebeinne, and Balnakiel all near Durness; Olshoremoremore, Polin and Sandalwood Bay; all on the north coast of Scotland.
Whistling Sands Porthor and Porth Iago on the Llyn in NW Wales
Barafundle, Freshwater West, Broadhaven South, Marloes all in fabulous Pembrokeshire SW Wales
Rhossili and Three Cliffs Bay on the Gower South Wales
Woolacombe and Saunton Sands in North Devon.
Gwithian & Towans and almost countless North Cornish bays.

But my favourite is Porthcurno just round from Lands End in Cornwall. It is just fabulous.

We do have some absolute crackers along the North Sea Coast from Berwick down to Filey.

Yes Porthcurno is stunning with the Minack Theatre perched on the cliff top

Bamburgh beach is pretty spectacular.

Just come back from Weymouth which is a nice beach and child friendly sea

Luskentyre, on Harris. The best beach in the world, not just the UK.

Barafundle Bay Pembrokeshire as per my post above. It really is outstanding.

Ah yes I did read your post but didn’t spot it. Awesome place, on a hot day you could almost be in Fiji, Thailand anywhere.

Porthcurno - on a quite day. Sand is bright white and made up of tiny fragments sea shells. Gives the sea the most fantastic hue.

Thats a bold claim indeed. Looks very nice.

Bude, Cornwall. And Woolacombe, Devon.

Shout out for Bamburgh, and also Girvan in Ayrshire too

Holkham Beach in Norfolk takes some beating IMHO

You could pick any number of those white sand beaches on Lewis/Harris etc.

On the mainland there's also Sands of Morar

And we have the winner

No-one's mentioned Whitley Bay yet. Apart from me. But then I would, wouldn't I?

Although Tynemouth's probably nicer from a "classic beach" perspective.

But a shout out for the stretch from Seaton Sluice up to Blyth (classic dunes behind it) and the stretch at Whitburn south of Souter Lighthouse - some stunning rock formations down there.

Nice spot that.
Camusdarach is nearby and an absolute banger of a beach. It was used in the film Local Hero for the beach scenes (the village scenes were in Pennan in northern Aberdeenshire a hundred miles away)

The thing I love most about the coastline up here in Northumberland is how easy it is to find gorgeous beaches that you can pretty much have to yourself.

I`ve cycled all the way from Berwick along the coast to Amble and always felt at peace visiting those deserted beaches.
This is one of the Farne Isles from the dunes:
