Summer is already here and we need to start thinking about our holiday escapades. As much as many of us dream of sunbathing on the coast of Mayorca or swimming in the beautiful Tenerife beaches, sometimes time and money aren’t enough to make these fantasies come true. Don’t let this ruin our summer! Although UK is no the first summery destination that springs to mind, there are plenty of UK beaches that will allow you to make the best of these glorious, and scarce, hot days.
Backed by sand dunes and framed by low cliffs, this stunning Scotland beach located about three miles south of Montrose, perfect for Scots and northerners. Lunan Bay is a beloved destination for surfers, horse riders and fishers.
Spectacular sunsets and monumental dunes! Located in Liverpool, Formby has plenty of picnic areas for you to enjoy a nice meal. Waymarked paths lead to beach, dunes and nearby woods.

One of our favourite UK beaches is located in Bournemouth. Travel to the South and enjoy tasty food, hire a beach hut or simply admire miles of the breath-taking coastline of Bournemouth beach.
