Wells Beach
Located near the harbor town of Wells-next-the-Sea, Wells Beach is a pristine stretch of sand on the Norfolk coast with particularly impressive beach huts. There is a parking lot, cafe, and the beach is dog friendly. While Wells Beach is great for sunbathing, swimming, or games, it's also ideal for coastal walks and it's part of the Norfolk Coast Path and Peddars Way. Visitors can follow the path for 2 miles to Holkham Beach through the Holkham Nature Reserve. You can also opt to camp nearby at the Pinewoods Holiday Park, which is a great way to stay near the beach and experience the outdoor beauty of Norfolk.

Brighton Beach
Brighton is England's most well-known beach destination, located less than an hour south of London. The resort town boasts the 200-year-old Brighton Palace Pier, which is filled with games, rides, and eateries. The beach itself, which is pebbled rather than sandy, gets crowded with hundreds of visitors on sunny days each spring and summer.
Brighton is great for a day trip, although its historic and contemporary hotels are welcoming for those looking for a longer stay. Don't miss the British Airways i360 observation tower, which offers amazing views of the shoreline, as well as the many annual events that take over Brighton, including a massive Pride festival.
