These are the 10 best beaches in the UK, according to TripAdvisor
17 February 2016

Great Britain has a coastline of some 19,491 miles. Which means there are a lot of beaches.

Some are covered in dog muck, plastic bags and those horrible sharp stones that cut your feet to pieces. But not these. 

These are the 10 best beaches of the UK, as compiled by the crowdsourcing holiday kings of TripAdvisor

Perfect for brisk walks and even brisker dips, best start planning that Easter bank holiday weekend early.
