Famous quirky beach home to 'UK's only desert' which 'feels like a film set'

Dungeness Beach is known for its abandoned boats (Image: Getty) Located on the UK’s Southern Coast, Dungeness Beach is home to thriving wildlife and the only desert in the UK, as well as a famous art attraction. There were only 4 UK beaches that made it into The Telegraph’s recent 50-best beaches list, and Kent’s Dungeness made it into the ‘best for wildlife’ category. Among the wildlife spotted at the beach are Arctic terns, cormorants, shags, seals, and even porpoises! There is even a wonderful nature reserve set back from the beach.

Dungeness is known for its abandoned boats and a disused nuclear reactor, so it’s far from your average seaside retreat. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
