It doesn’t always have to be buckets, spades and cheap bikinis. These are the perfect places to visit if you need to clear your head.
Bamburgh, Northumberland
Bamburgh (population around 500) is a tiny fleck on the Northumberland coastline, and while visitors flock to the imposing castle of the same name, the surrounding sands are blissfully human-free.
Luskentyre, Isle of Harris
Far, far away from anywhere you're likely to be - just behind the back of beyond and somewhere near BFE - lies Luskentyre beach on the Isle of Harris, where white sand fringes empty landscapes and nothing much has changed in millions of years.
Littlehampton, West Sussex
Littlehampton might be a mere 50 miles from London, and home to a burgeoning seaside foodie scene, but its beaches are still largely bereft of people. One of the quietest parts of the crowded south coast.
Camber Sands, East Sussex
They saw a lot of action in the war, and once a year play host to hundreds of emaciated indie fans for the ATP festival, but the protected dunes around the village of Camber are usually deserted and are actually accreting (getting bigger) all the time.
