Haverigg beach on Cumbria’s west coast sees shingle turn to sand as you walk further from the mainland, offering the kind of damp sand that’s perfect for sandcastle building. Sand dunes are also in abundance here, making it fun for the young and old alike to indulge in a little bit of hide and seek.
This long beach is among the UK’s cleanest and is best visited at low tide to ensure you make the most of the available space. Dogs are welcome to run-free and stretch their legs here, but owners are asked to keep them on a lead when near to the RSPB Hodbarrow Nature Reserve.
Car-parking is plentiful, with the added bonus of a children’s play area nearby too.
