A stunning British beach, albeit a bit of a trek to reach, has been hailed as one of the best in the UK, promising tranquillity at the end of your journey. The moment the sun graces us with its presence, UK coastlines are swarmed by tourists and locals alike, all eager to unwind with loved ones. The most frequented seaside towns witness a surge of visitors, many of whom make a beeline for the beach, equipped with buckets and spades and hopeful for a sea swim.

Such areas can quickly become congested, noisy, and uncomfortable, especially for those seeking a peaceful retreat while watching the waves kiss the shore. While it may seem that the top beaches are always bustling during the warmer months, there are hidden treasures to be found if you know where to look. Nestled in Cornwall is the secluded and scenic Lantic Bay beach, situated between Fowey and Polperro.

The Independent recently recognised it as one of the UK's best for escaping the crowds. Its white shingle sand and turquoise waters, nestled in a large bay flanked by towering cliffs, make it a sight to behold. However, these cliffs mean you'll have to put in a bit more effort to reach it, reports the Mirror .

The beach can only be accessed after trekking down through woodland, on uneven terrain, including a slope and several steps. However, the serene ambience that awaits makes the journey worthwhile. The deep shelving of the seabed allows boats to stop by the bay and also makes it an ideal spot for swimming.
