This beach is perfect for dogs. It offers miles of pristine sand and dunes where they can play to their heart's content.

If you're bundled up, this is a great spot to take a stroll or simply relax. The beach is stunning and stretches the entire length, with only a handful of rocky areas, rockpools, and WW2 defenses. It's best to arrive during low tide so you can walk from one end to the other, and if you don't want wet feet, make sure to wear boots for the streams that cross the beach. The sunrise is the ideal time to visit, making it one of the most remarkable locations in the UK.

I haven't had the chance to fully experience the beach, as I've only visited during the evening hours or once during the day. However, I must mention that the beach has beautiful golden sand.
