Favourite UK Beach Holiday Destinations
Living on an island is something worth celebrating as we have the freedom to enjoy and explore around 12,429 kilometres of British coastline.
Albeit some parts of our glorious coast are more habitable than others, and when it comes to beaches, we think it's worth spreading the word about which ones we consider our fabourites, and they really are special. From the vast expances of sand in North Norfolk that stretch for miles, to the sheltered coves and bays off the Yorkshire coast, we've scoured the country to bring you the best of English and Welsh beaches and help you choose a holiday cottage nearby.
