British Beaches
This site aims to list every beach in the British Isles, allowing you to find beaches close to where you live or where you're staying on holiday, as well as get an idea of what the beach is like and what goes on there before you visit.
As well as beach listings, we also include weather and tide times where possible plus links to accomodation in the local area.
More will be added in the course of the next few days and weeks!

Instow is a very nice beach, be aware that access is quite limited to the beach (and can even be non existent) depending on the height of the tide. There is free parking for 1 hour along the sea front and then further along you can park for 2 hours [...]

Portobello - West (Kings Road) Edinburgh City of Edinburgh
This part of Portobello beach (Kings Road) is fantastic for dog walking at low tide. There are not too many day trippers as they tend to go to the beach further along where there are more amenities so you have no fear of your errant labrador wolfing down their [...]

Shoeburyness Southend on Sea Essex
The nameing of this piece of beach is always annoying for me as i live in shoeburyness and the beach that is discribed (is to me)thorpe bay beach not shoebury.Even though shoebury common road runs along a part of it,it then joins thorpe bay esplanade which does indeed run along thorpe bay beach.

I have already commented on the beach but I would like to suggest that the tide heights are missing from your information page. These should be given in imperial and metric as sailors and fishermen find this data essential! Thanks!
