The sand dunes and grassy slopes that surround the beach are perfect for both child and adult explorers alike.

British beach 6: Rhossili, South Wales
Rhossili beach — and the surrounding area — has been voted one of the most naturally beautiful areas in England, and is steeped in history. Indeed, when the tide is low, visitors can see the breathtaking historical remains of the shipwrecked Helvetia ship from 1887, whilst the grey seals often laze around on the surrounding rocks. Visitors can also view the mile long island affectionately named 'Worm's Head', which appropriately resembles the head of a worm and sticks out just above the water to form an island when the tide is high.

British beach 7: Blackpool, Lancashire
 
Blackpool beach is certainly the shining jewel in the British crown when it comes to lively beaches for all the family to enjoy. From ice creams and donkey rides to naughty postcards and classic fish 'n' chips, Blackpool beach is the embodiment of all things British and has long been established as the ultimate traditional seaside in England. Alongside the large expanse of sand and the infamous donkey rides across the beach stands one of the top UK tourist attractions: Blackpool Pleasure Beach. This is home to some of the scariest roller coasters in the UK and attracts millions of visitors per year. The colourful lights of Blackpool illuminations and the hours of entertainment provided by the arcades make Blackpool the seaside party capital of the north.

British beach 8: Gwenver, Cornwall
 
Gwenver is a remote, hidden gem of a beach at the foot of the Cornish Trevedra cliff in Cornwall. The beach is thought to have got its name from the mythical Queen Guinevere, the wife of King Arthur in the Arthurian romance legends. The beach is a surfer's paradise and, for those who know little about surfing or simply want to improve their skills, Gwenver beach is a stone's throw away from the neighbouring seaside, Sennen, where surfing schools take place on a regular basis. This is a perfect family beach, particularly for children who will love the rock pools — even the family dog is welcomed with a warm reception and plenty of space to run around. Gwenver beach boasts breathtaking views of the Isles of Sicily, which can be seen far out at sea on a clear day.

British beach 9: Durdle Door, Dorset
Beaches And Coasts Durdle Door Lulworth Cove Dorset England 
Durdle Door is a famous limestone arch that separates the two beautiful beaches of St Oswald's Bay and Man O'War Cove. The climb down can be pretty demanding (double check that you've packed your sandwiches before you begin the trek) but once you get there, you won't want to turn back. This beautiful spot is naturally sheltered from the wind and the crystal clear sea is breathtaking. Durdle Door has featured as a popular location in scenes from films and music videos for artists and actors such as Pink Floyd, Cliff Richard, and Bruce Dickinson. Activities that take place here include scuba diving, fishing, snorkelling, and kayaking. For those who don't fancy the steep climb, Lulworth Cove is a nearby pebble beach with easier access to facilities and a whole host of hotels available that overlook the cove. For those who have the energy though, Durdle Door is a must-see iconic landmark.

British beach 10: Oddicome, Torquay
 
The British town of Torquay is home to the breathtaking shingle beach, Oddicome. There's plenty to do on this endless stretch of beauty too; from renting a boat to take a scenic tour to taking the cliff railway from the peak down to the shore, everyone who visits is offered with a number of different ways to explore the beautiful beach. Located at the foot of vibrant red sandstone cliffs, visitors are provided with natural protection from the wind. The cafe at the top of the cliff offers a delightful selection of food and drink, as well as scenic views over the sea. If you're feeling energetic, try taking a walk to the top of the cliff — it's a tough climb but the views from the top of the cliff make it worthwhile.
