UK Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 The title says it all, really- best beach in Britain. My personal favourite is Torquay. It's the next Brighton, and the only resort in Britain to have palm trees. And the water's warm(ish) too.
UK Posted August 31, 2007 Author Posted August 31, 2007 We have beaches? I was surprised and confused when I found out, too.
KKOB Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 BMI Baby Beach Birmingham what a pile of bollocks but it's the only 'beach' around here for miles . . .
Roostophe Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 BMI Baby Beach Birmingham what a pile of bollocks but it's the only 'beach' around here for miles . . . I always thought that idea was a load of old bollocks.
KKOB Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 I always thought that idea was a load of old bollocks. Serious waste of time and money. I hate Birmingham City Council, they're such a bunch of pricks that make stupendously shit decisions most of the time.
Kurtle Squad Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 None of them....They're all shit and the water's cold n uriney. I'll say Mersea Island then; there's a pissy pillbox there
Blackfox Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Trebarwith Strand. Near to Tintagel, Cornwall. Fucking epic. Cracking Haven is great too, and also in wonderful Cornwall.

Strider Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Trebarwith Strand. Near to Tintagel, Cornwall. Fucking epic. Cracking Haven is great too, and also in wonderful Cornwall. We was down that neck of the woods the other day talking to a guy who also recommened that beach. I've never been to that bit before even though we stay close to the quiter north, such as tintagel. I would have to say Bedruthan Steps (Between padstow and newquay) I truly love that place.
Ginger_Chris Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Cleethorpes. The sky is grey, the water is grey and best of all, the sand is grey. Its by far the best/most depressing beach in the country.
Ant-Shimmin Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 About 80% of the Beaches in Cornwall are at the best of times comparable to your Costa Del Sol's and Ibiza's. However I like the beaches in Angelsey....
Whisky Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 We have beaches? That was exactly what I thought when I saw the thread XD But hey, what should I know, I'm not even British.
Shorty Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Cleethorpes. The sky is grey, the water is grey and best of all, the sand is grey. Its by far the best/most depressing beach in the country.I went to Cleethorpes on the hottest day this year... you can diss a lot about Cleethorpes but when the tide is in how can you say the sand is grey? The sand at Cleethorpes is great, proper soft traditional sand, no stones, hot, you sink into it if you try to walk with shoes on.... Plus it still has some old classics at the arcade like Time Crisis 2, House of the Dead 2 and Crazy Taxi. Ice Cream and junk food's not bad there either. Plus it has the green areas with waterfalls and walks, shops and crazy golf.
Ginger_Chris Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I don't think I've ever been to Cleethorpe's when the suns been out. The sun's been out everywhere else in the country, but as soon as I arrive there it's behind a mysterious cloud that nowehere else seems to see. I go there at least 2-3 times a year as I'm only just down the road (ish) and its never been sunny, in fact most of the time its drizzling. I have no Idea why I keep going.
ViPeR Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Isn't it funny how everyone loves the beaches in Cornwall yet treat the towns and people like shit for 6 months of the year. Anyway, mini rant over, Crantock beach outside Newquay is the best beach ever. Huge dunes, non polluted sea, and not too much tourist wankers. In all its empty glory.
UK Posted September 1, 2007 Author Posted September 1, 2007 Has anyone been to a beach with warm water? (in Britain)
welsh_gamer Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Treaddur Bay beach on Anglesey is pretty cool. Plenty of sand and plenty of people riding jet-ski's to watch.
