British beaches may not be akin to those in the Maldives or Mauritius,
but there’s a lot to be said for them when the sky is blue. Despite its stones,
Brighton beach is one of
Britain’s best-loved, with hundreds descending on the seaside town for its
red-and-white striped deckchairs, its legendary pier complete with funfair
rides and its mods and rockers heritage. Grab a 99p Flake ice-cream, sit in one
of its many beach-side bars or simply peel off your football shirt and bask in
the sun.
If sand is more your thing, then Weston-super-Mare in Somerset or Bournemouth in Dorset are perfect for sprawling on. Men who are after surf should head to the sands of Cornwall (incidentally, this year’s most-favoured holiday hotspot by British tourists), while foodie-types will enjoy the Michelin-starred restaurants that dot the palm-lined promenades of Torquay in Devon. British beaches; overcrowded? Maybe. Underrated? Definitely.
