An “unspoilt” British beach looks like it could be abroad. The “wild and remote” beach could be a perfect staycation spot.
As the UK firmly settles into spring, there’s nothing more appealing than a day at the beach. A unique beach in Kent feels like it could be overseas, according to the expert team at Parkdean Resorts.
Dungeness Beach in Kent is a shingle beach which has a very unique ecosystem and is sometimes described as the UK’s only desert.
A spokesperson from Parkdean said: “Surprisingly, Dungeness Beach has a similar aesthetic to Taiwan’s unspoilt coastline and is almost identical to Sunrise Crescent Bay in Qixingtan.
“Both destinations exude a wild and remote feeling and feature golden grey pebbles and coastal views for miles.
“However, travelling to Dungeness Beach could save travellers 7,990 miles of commute and over £6,000.”
Dungeness Beach sits on the edge of Romney Marsh and is home to over 600 species of plant.
The unique spot is an important ecosystem and is also home to several rare insects, despite its barren appearance,
A tourist ‘worldshirl’ said: “Technically a desert, this area has huge skies and an end of the world feeling.
“Two lighthouses and two nuclear power stations complete this surreal landscape which is somehow completely beautiful.”
Another visitor ‘BirdBrain99’ said: “Scenery like nowhere else. The shapes of the old fishing boats sitting on the beach is something to behold.”
‘HDXB’ said: “Such a lovely place to walk and look out for pebbles, shells and listen to the waves.”
Dungeness Beach might not be the ideal sunbathing spot but the breathtaking beach is definitely worth a visit.
Tourists might also want to visit Prospect Cottage with its driftwood garden, where film director Derek Jarman once lived.
The beach is an incredible sunset spot and the sky comes alive with vibrant colours at the end of the day.
Tourists looking for a fun filled beach day might prefer to explore Small Hope Beach which could be mistaken for an Australian coastline.
Meanwhile Kynance Cove in Cornwall, looks just like the Caribbean in summer without the long-haul price tag.
According to new research from Sykes Holiday Cottages, 75 percent of Britons are planning a staycation at some point this year.
The team found that Yorkshire was this year’s most popular destination, pushing Cornwall into second place.
The Scottish Highlands took third place on the list and was the most popular destination outside of England.
However, there are still bargains to be found for tourists looking to leave the UK. Thinking outside the box could help Britons find a deal.
Some of the cheapest destinations to fly to in August include northern Italy, Denmark and the south of France.
