A new study has found that Scotland has the best beaches in Britain - as people are expected to flock to the coast as another heatwave is expected.
The research, conducted on behalf of Chicks Gold, analysed Tripadvisor reviews to find the highest-rated beaches in the UK.
Beaches rated four stars or higher were ranked based on the percentage of five-star reviews compared to the total number of reviews.
Here are the top 10.
5. Sandwood Bay Beach
It's back to Scotland to complete the top five best beaches in Britain. Sandwood Bay in Sutherland has 88.10 per cent of reviews (185 out of 210) rating it five stars. It is a natural bay with a remote, picturesque beach on the far north-west coast of mainland Scotland. Visitors will find a mile of golden sands and dunes, with rocky cliffs and a giant sea stack to complete the stunning vistas. | Canva/Getty Images
