Durdle Door
The Jurassic Coast is filled with impressive rock formations, but perhaps none more so than Durdle Door, an arched rock that stretches along the end of a cove. Dorset's pebble and shingle beach can be accessed by foot from Lulworth Cove, as well as from the area's parking lot, which has parking available for a fee. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes for the walk and note that toilets are located near the parking lot, not on the beach. Durdle Door can be very popular on hot days, especially in summer and on bank holidays, so plan your trip accordingly and arrive early.

Crosby Beach
A quick journey from Liverpool, Crosby Beach can be found on the Merseyside coastline, stretching for about 2.5 miles. It's the home of Antony Gormley's "Another Place" sculptures, and many visitors come just to see the human-shaped artwork in the sand. It's a great spot for a long stroll, and during the summer many locals come for a swim. There is free parking nearby and dogs are welcome on the beach. Life guards do patrol the beach, but the hours and days may vary so be sure to keep an eye on the tides and waves.
