UK beaches make top ten favourite in the world

The Guardian has listed its top ten favourite beaches in the world as given by people woh spend their lives by the ocean – from surfers and marine biologists to board shop workers and Austrailians.  Beaches in Scotland and Cornwall have made this list and find themselves in the company of countries such as Chile and Fiji.  Porthowan beach in Cornwal  is the favourite beach of Any Cummins who is the Campaign Manager for Surfers Against Sewage and he said “Porthtowan is my favourite because it lets me do so much. I swim there, sunbathe, play with my family, surf, work and relax. I’ve surfed with dolphins there and seen basking sharks and there’s always the chance of that happening next time I’m there. It’s my home from home, without phone reception, without everyday stresses, my perfect escape.”  Pease Bay in Scotland is the favourite beach of Kate McCondiche of Boardwise Surf sate and snow shop.  Pease bay is beautifully situated in a hollow between sloping hillsides.  Kate said “The long sandy beach is ideal for chilling out, and with its hillside location, it’s the perfect place to watch the sun set. One of my favourite things about this beach are the people – there’s no unfriendly behaviour, and I’m likely to know someone else who is there.”
