The beaches of the UK and Ireland are wonderful and they’re even better when bathed in the often too rare sunshine we crave. If you’re coming to the UK or Ireland this summer (or any time really), here are the favorite beaches of previous visitors.

In some ways I'm quite glad my favorite UK beach (Kynance Cove in Cornwall) didn't make the list but it's a shame some of the Northern Ireland, Scilly Isles and Isle of Man beaches didn't get a mention.
Have you a favorite UK or Irish beach?
