Hot summer months have traditionally urged Brits to fly away in search of warm continental weather and many beaches in Europe.
With Europe's top beaches in a massive draw, the idea of sucking the sun on foreign sand is appealing to many.
However, as the British summer intensifies and the living crisis is stricken, many have opted to stay, discovering the UK's unique, stunning coastal spots.
But among the UK's popular seaside towns, Port Stepwart Strand was given the title of Britain's finest beach, beating the expected others, including Holcombe Beach in North Norfolk and the bustling Brighton Beach in Sussex.
This Northern Ireland beauty spot in Coderry not only has its ability to adorn the screens with Game of Thrones, but also enjoys its unspoiled sea fame that has captivated more and more visitors.
Famous travel writer Chris Haslam praised Port Stewart Strand's virtue for his picturesque charm, family-friendly atmosphere, dog inclusiveness and unique perks of beachside parking.
“The promenade is still fun, it's on the other side of Cafe/Deli-born and bread, passing between the rocky coast and busy coastal shops.
The secret secret of this seaside resort may be a bustling high street that thrives not only for the holiday season but also all year round. Even travel writers praise the beach, but it's also a hit on TripAdvisor.
Last month, Caroline shared her experience online.
“I was deeply impressed by the young gentleman working for the National Trust, who checks that people using the disabled bay are actually showing blue badges.”
Another addition: “I've been to the North Coast for years, but to this day I've never stepped into Port Stewart Strand. There are miles of sand, lots of beach parking, great walks, great paddling, lots of opportunities to surf and board SUP.”
