Quiet British beaches..

Have a look at North Norfolk.. lots of lovely quiet beaches if you don't mind a bit of a walk... high sands creak (stifkey) is a personal favourite of mine.

Was there this Saturday with my two little ones (2 and 4).. spent a couple of hours crabbing in the creaks (pulling up 4 / 5 crabs a go).. then walked out to the beach (perhaps took us 10 mins).. we saw maybe 3 or 4 families on the beach.. and if we had walked another 10 mins would not of had a person in sight.. also if you like the wildlife.. a lot of the young seal pups swim in the pools left after the tide goes out.. my girls totally love it.

totally agree - there are miles and mile of wonderful beaches with little or no-one on them. Even the busy ones like Holkam are so large you can get a quiet spot if you don't mind walking for a bit, or go from Burnham Overy Staithe
 
Not been to holkam on the weekend, but from many a visit during the week, always found it to be sparsely populated.

Recommend it myself, I find it one of the quietest soothing places on the planet, a good place for the young one.

So we're planning on going for a day at the beach in about a month, my 2 year old is autistic and loves the beach but has trouble with communication and such things, we went to Devon last year and she was going round trying to steal peoples buckets, spades, dogs etc :D

lol my autistic son was always the opposite when he was young and we took him to the beach :(
He would just stand near by some kids just watching them like he's waiting to be asked to join in.
He starts secondary school next year, his mum took him over on the bus for some summer school they are doing.
the next day he asked if he could go alone lol got there and back on the bus fine :eek:

hope you don't get to many idiots who claim it's just a label for bad kids.

anyone with first hand experience with autism knows it's real
 
Generally speaking just move away from actual towns etc, you might not be able to get an ice cream but you'll probably be able to find a near empty beach as little as half a mile up from the populated bits. There's loads around Southwold on the Suffolk coast, if you're looking at east coast surely North Wales should be an option as well? Plenty of ghost towns with nice beaches there.
 
went to rhyl the other day,and just past the tall tower thing they have the beach was almost deserted,plenty sand dunes around

odd dog walker and cyclist that was all I saw

Just been to Penbryn and Llangranog which are based around cardigan bay in wales. Beautiful beaches and only handfuls of people
 
Mwnt is my favourite beach in that area but its small, I have known it to be quiet but it'd fill quick on any hot summer day. Poppet sands is much bigger and Im sure there is a quieter spot at one part of that coastline
The seven has the second largest tidal range in the world which must make for some big beaches at low tide
 
Exmouth was pretty quiet when I went a couple years ago. Not sure it was full blown Summer when I was there but it was hot - might be a bit far for you though.

Always found Dorset to be rammed whenever I've been.
 
North east has some excellent beaches. It's not that they're particularly quiet, they're just so big that you can always find a quiet spot. Sorry that's no use to you though unless you fancy the drive.
 
The gower in south wales is stunning as long as you avoid tenby it should be nice and not too busy.
