Discover the allure of England’s stunning beaches. From tranquil shores to buzzing coastal towns, there’s a perfect spot waiting for you. Here’s a guide to some of the must-visit beaches to experience during the summer season.
1. Camber Sands, East Sussex
Camber Sands, East Sussex — England’s intensely varied coastal destinations come into their own in the summer. Unlike the perennially popular nearby holiday park at Camber, wide stretches of Camber Sands are often deserted.
2. Crosby Sands, Near Liverpool
A stone’s skim from Liverpool, Crosby Sands showcases a haunting army of sculptures by British artist Antony Gormley.
3. Covehithe Beach, Suffolk
Photographer Andrew Stawarz captured this image of a weather-beaten dead tree poking out of the sand at Covehithe Beach on England’s east coast.
4. Porthcurno, Cornwall
Porthcurno offers a narrow sandy cove where turquoise waters roll gently onto the beach. It’s handy for the open-air Minack Theatre, cut into the nearby cliff side.
5. Holkham Beach, North Norfolk
One of England’s most stunning beaches, Holkham’s golden sands cover a vast stretch of the North Norfolk coast.
6. Bamburgh Beach, Northumberland
Overlooked by the towering ramparts of a spectacular Norman castle, the sandy beach at Bamburgh is ideal for novice surfers and nature fanatics.
7. Chesil Beach, Dorset
A shingle sandbar pushed landwards over hundreds of years, the 18-mile Chesil Beach is a unique feature on the English coastline.
8. Whitby Beach, Yorkshire
The historic harbor at Whitby, in northeastern England, separates two excellent beaches. The town also celebrates a darker side with an annual ‘goth weekend,’ trading on its connections to former resident and ‘Dracula’ author Bram Stoker.
Conclusion
In summary, England offers a myriad of spectacular beaches just waiting to be explored. Whether you prefer serene landscapes, cultural experiences, or adventurous watersports, each beach provides a unique opportunity for relaxation and enjoyment. Plan your visit to these coastal gems to make the most of your summer vacation.
