Find a beach

With one of the highest concentrations of Blue Flags and beach awards for cleanliness in England, you won’t be disappointed. Swimming is a joy in the summer months and many swim throughout the year from the Bay’s golden sands. At Shoalstone Beach there is a renovated art deco sea pool for those seeking a safe haven for swimming.

From May to September inclusive, beaches are protected by a 5 Knot speed restriction to protect swimmers and small craft users.
