Best places: Beaches in England

Long, flat beach featuring golden sand, dunes & rock pools, along with surfers & paddle boarders.

👍 Really lovely beach! River area great for paddle boarding and for kids to splash about it, lots of rock pools and caves to explore, and sand dunes are great for sand boarding! Be warned the car parks fill up sooooooo early and the beach can get quite crowded along the river side.

Picturesque beach retreat featuring turquoise waters & surrounding granite cliffs.

Peaceful, pet-friendly riverfront beach & grasslands featuring scenic views of surrounding cliffs.

👍👍 Absolutely amazing part of England, like so many partsof the U.K. A VERY big walk down to the beach and back up to the car park. £5 to park for 4 hrs, £10 for the day up to 9pm. Take plenty of reserves for the day. A pub up top but no food stall open. Just ice creams and drinks. Natural coastline...

👍👍 Beautiful part of the coast, very photogenic and lots of activities possible, dog walking allowed all year apart from the beach down by the lifeguard station. Lots of parking, signal hit and miss but WiFi for Ringo is provided

This wide, scenic beach features a mile-long sandy expanse & waves for surfing & swimming.

👍👍 A great place, if you’re after an amazing beach then this is the place for you. When the tide is out it’s vast, as in really vast! On a decent day it’s a feast for the eyes with all the amazing colours, clean clear water, St.Ives and Carbis Bay in the horizon. Parking can be a little tricky and the...

Huge, family-friendly expanse with summer donkey rides, fish & chips, beach huts & lighthouse views.

Curving, sheltered beach popular for sun bathing & swimming & once frequented by King George III.

Popular sandy stretch featuring a saltwater rock pool, beach huts (fee), a cafe & ample parking.

👍 Good place for family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 visiting. Decent views 👌 able to met with wild nature🦭🐦🐚🏞. However there are no 🚻Toilet 🚻 facilities and not accessible by disabled people ♿️🚫♿️🚫. People with mobility scooter may find difficult to climb on dunes, witch I witnessed 🥺☹️😱😭

👍👍 I adore this place. The beach is clean and sandy, and the sea air lifts the soul! The surrounding area is not like Yarmouth with lots to do, so it won't appeal to everyone. But that is reason alone for it to appeal to some. The space around the beach is plentiful, with a park for the children, a b...

Near the Tate St Ives building, this scenic sandy beach is popular with surfers & swimmers.

Expansive sweep of sand backed by a sculpture-dotted promenade, plus beachside chalets & rock pools.

👍👍 Review update may 2022 - Car park price peak season, £5 for 2 hours, or £9 for all day. Do check your banking as we randomly got charged an extra 40p. The app is called Flowbird. The app saves your vehicle reg and you can add another car. You can pay by cash at the machines. Beautiful place, massiv...

👍👍 Lovely quiet beach with sand dunes, seals and loads of space so it doesn't feel like you are too close to people. Not the sort of beach you should go to if you like loads or slot machines and flashy lights, which makes it perfect in my opinion.
