10. Pedn Vounder Beach, Cornwall
Pedn Vounder Beach looks like it might be more at home in Australia but luckily for Brits, it’s right here on the Cornish coast. The beach gets cut off at high tide which means it’s relatively quiet as the only way off it is a steep cliff path. It does have a reputation as a naturist beach. Be careful of the tides if you do plan on visiting.
