Many visitors wonder about finding sand and sea nearby, and the good news is that several options are within reach for a day out.
For that classic British seaside experience, popular day trips include the iconic Brighton Beach with its vibrant pier, or the unique charm of Whitstable Beach, famous for its oysters.
