More Britons have recently chosen to make the most of what the UK has to offer when they enjoy or stay for a few days. Because it is an island, there are many beaches and scenic seaside spots to choose from all over the country. According to a 2024 report by Consumer Intelligence, 52% of British people chose to take leave within the UK last year. And the most popular places tend to be Bournemouth, Brighton, Newquay, Scarborough, Blackpool, Cornwall and Devon.
Sixty-seven percent of British people planned to take vacations in the UK to reduce convenience and costs, while 34% were planning on going at least two domestic trips. As a result, many travelers are looking for quieter and lesser known places for a quieter holiday experience. Luckily, experts at Simply Sea Views list 10 of the UK's “best hidden coastlines for wild beaches and secret coves.” Here, visitors can “run away from the ice cream queue and feel like they've really discovered it somewhere on the map.”
Simply put, the ocean view describes Norfolk's Burnum Aubrey Stays Creek as “hiding behind a water-resistant back” and “through a dusty road.”
Experts add that the area is “a peaceful tide creek with a timeless, nostalgic feel,” and that at the end of the salt swamp, a wooden boat gently bobs.
Additionally, a long promenade leads to Holkam's golden dunes. “After paddleboarding with curls and seals, a crab sandwich is a must-have place,” the expert adds.
They also list some good things to know, including the fact that the free parking available to the port is mimicked.
It is best to arrive early at peak times.
Dogs are allowed, but they must maintain a leash for nearby wildlife habitat.
