We have decided to start a bucket list of UK beaches that we want to go to and we are hoping to visit most of these (and more) this year, if restrictions are eased enough to allow so much travelling.
The UK has some impressive coastlines and beaches to explore, no matter what it is you like, whether that's from fossil hunting to building sandcastles there's a beach for everyone.
Some of the beaches below, we visit regularly, but love them so they are on our list, others we have not been to yet and are looking forward to exploring once we are allowed and it's safe to go further.
Seaham Hall Beach - One of our local beaches, perfect if it's seaglass you are looking for.
Uig Sands, Isle of Lewis - Large beautiful beach, surrounded by flower meadows.
Stronsay, Orkney Island - Absolutely beautiful Island with miles of coastland. You can regularly see seals and various Birds.
Woolacombe Bay, North Devon- Perfect for rock pooling and building sandcastles.
