No offence Muban, but you are in Scotland!! (with that said the Hebridean beach's are really nice looking, just not any thing else. 
)

If you use someones images you should host them yourself, leeching is bad form. :)
Living in the Midlands I don't know sod all about British beaches 
When I lived on the Cote d'Azur, it varied a lot. The beach at Nice is a shingle/pebble beach I didn't like too much. But go to Cannes, or a bit further down to places like La Napoule, and the sand is very fine, and not crowded at all

The beach at Durness (far North West tip of Scottish Mainland) is simply amazing...
It has large outcrops of what is called "Oyster Rock" scattered across it (it's actually a Mylonite from the Moine Schist) but back to the beach (lol) ... it's awesome!
Found some pics from when I was there in Easter:

There are some fantastic beaches in the UK. The only problem is to enjoy them fully you need glorious sunshine and warm weather (unless you're a surfer), which sadly we don't get enough of.
Some that I've been to in the last year;
Woolacombe in North Devon is superb and a blue flag beach. Very popular.
Pendine sands in South West Wales is great. They used to attempt the Land Speed Record there years and years ago and overlooking the beach is the Museum of Speed.
Newgale beach in West Wales is another superb beach and fairly quiet.
Living nearly 100 miles from a beach but being born in the country and growing up near one is annoying. I love the sea.

Freshwater West in Pembrokeshire is a great beach when the weather is good:-

The best thing about Durness beach is the colour of the water - the pics don't really show but the sea around there is an awesome turquoise blue colour, really bright! It looks like a Caribbean paradise on a sunny day!
When its sunny and warm, there's some lovely beaches in the UK - however getting sunny & warm to co-operate is tricky than tricking professor trickster of tricky university at his own tricks!
