This beach is an absolute treasure, tucked away in a somewhat elusive location. But once you discover it, you'll be amazed. The sand is simply divine and rivals even the most exotic destinations like the Maldives. The water is crystal clear and pristine. Although it can be a bit choppy on cooler days, it's to be expected. The beauty of this beach cannot be captured in photographs alone. I highly recommend a visit if you happen to be in the vicinity.

Pedn vounder beach
10 Scratchy87

Without a doubt, this beach located on the southern coast of England is one of the finest I have ever visited. The water is crystal clear, providing an idyllic setting for swimming and other water activities. However, it is important to exercise caution when approaching the beach, particularly at the end of the path, which can be perilous due to a steep drop. This is especially important if you are traveling with children or if you are not in the best physical shape. Fortunately, there is an alternative route that is recommended by officials to avoid any potential injuries or accidents. All in all, this beach is a truly breathtaking wonder that is not to be missed.
