Research, conducted by travel experts at BoatBooker, found the best hidden beaches are not on the popular resort coastline and are instead found on islands in Scotland, the coastal paths of Wales and the remote coves of England.
The analysis examined Google Maps locations for the words secluded beaches, secret beaches and silent beaches with a focus on places that have fewer than 100 reviews.
Vukan Simic, founder of BoatBooker, said: "Britain's coastline offers unparalleled diversity beyond tourist hotspots.
“These off-the-beaten-path locations deliver the authentic British coastal experience travellers crave - pristine waters, dramatic scenery, and a genuine connection with our natural heritage.”
