 This one’s for the adventurous souls. With its otherworldly landscape of shingle and abandoned lighthouses, Dungeness is not your typical postcard beach. But its raw, rugged charm has won over even the most discerning of beachgoers. The rough waters may not be the ideal pick for a swim, but the wild feel and look about this place is worth checking out.

• Holkham, Norfolk

Picture-perfect and pristine, Holkham is the beach that dreams are made of.  With its vast expanse of golden sand and dramatic dunes, it’s no wonder this Norfolk gem has made the global cut. It is also rather secluded, making it a great pick for when you want to get away from it all.

• Porthcurno, Cornwall

Cornwall has long been a favorite with beach lovers for its numerous options, but Porthcurno is truly special. Nestled in a sheltered cove with turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs, it’s the perfect place to relax and soak up the sun. Its soft, white sands make it a great pick for families, and its tides ideal for surfing.

• Three Cliffs Bay, Gower

 Wales, often overlooked in the beach stakes, has proved its worth with Three Cliffs Bay. This stunning stretch of coastline, with its towering cliffs and secluded coves, is a must-visit for any beach enthusiast.

So, next time you’re dreaming of white sands and crystal-clear waters, don’t forget to consider your own backyard.
