Beaches to eat

Beaches to eat

A day at the beach, interrupted only by the occasional swim and something delicious to eat, is one of life’s greatest pleasures.

Thankfully, the UK’s shores are lined with sweeping sands and secluded coves, many with excellent food on offer – whether it’s at a refined restaurant with far-reaching sea views, or a shack where you can enjoy a crab pasty with sand between your toes.

These are the beaches where seaside days and memorable meals go hand-in-hand.
