7 of the Best UK Beaches to Visit This Summer

(& the perfect drink pairing from Nuisance)

Golden sands, dramatic coastlines, and crystal-clear water? Yes, really — in the UK. Whether you're up for a surf, a scenic walk, or a peaceful nap in the sun, the British coastline delivers some spectacular options. Here are seven of the best beaches in the UK, and the perfect Nuisance Drink to take with you.

 

1. Rhossili Bay, Wales

Why we love it: Three sweeping miles of sand, clifftop walks, and soul-soothing views.
Best for: Long hikes, big skies, and fresh air therapy.
Pair it with: Nettle & Elderflower – wild, crisp, and earthy. A flavour as pure as the breeze of the Gower.

2. Porthcurno Beach, Cornwall

Why we love it: Turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs, and the open-air Minack Theatre above.
Best for: Cliff walks, sea dips, and sunset shows.
Pair it with: Rhubarb & Ginger – fruity with a warming kick, it mirrors the bold beauty of Cornwall’s coast.

3. Camber Sands, East Sussex

Why we love it: Rolling dunes and wide sandy stretches perfect for kites and bare feet.
Best for: Families, sandy picnics, and coastal calm.
Pair it with: Mint, Cucumber & Chilli – refreshing and subtly fiery, just like a breezy afternoon chasing waves.

4. Bamburgh Beach, Northumberland

Why we love it: Towering castle views and expansive sands as far as the eye can see.
Best for: Horse rides, history, and windswept walks.
Pair it with: Bramble & Rosemary – deep, herbaceous, and robust enough to match the medieval grandeur.

5. Luskentyre, Isle of Harris (Scotland)

Why we love it: White sands and clear water you’d mistake for the Maldives — if it weren’t for the Hebridean breeze.
Best for: Off-grid escapes and quiet wonder.
Pair it with: Nettle & Elderflower – foraged flavour for a beach that feels untouched by time.

6. Barafundle Bay, Pembrokeshire

Why we love it: A hidden gem only accessible on foot — peaceful, perfect, and picnic-ready.
Best for: Wild swims, sandwiches, and slow afternoons.
Pair it with: Pink Grapefruit & Basil – zesty, aromatic, and bright. It’s a picnic in a can.

7. Holkham Beach, Norfolk

Why we love it: Huge skies, golden sand, and roaming deer in the dunes.
Best for: Nature lovers, photographers, and horse riders.
Pair it with: Bramble & Rosemary – grounding and bold, ideal for the wild, wide-open Norfolk coast.
