The most picturesque beaches in the UK have been revealed - and seven of the top 10 can be found in the West Country
Seven beautiful beaches in the West Country have been named among the most photogenic in Britain. New research has shown that these are the most picture-perfect beaches in the UK - and you can find seven of them right here in the south west.
If you're planning a day trip over the bank holiday weekend, or looking for something fun to do with the kids during the school holidays, these 'Instagrammable' beaches are the perfect choice. StoryBoards, a company that creates photo wall art, looked at Instagram hashtags for 50 of the UK's favourite beaches. They compared these to the lengths of the beaches, which gave them a list of the top 10 beaches and coves with the most hashtags per metre of beach.
It might not surprise you to learn that seven of the top 10 beaches are in the South West - and one of Devon's most popular spots made it to the list. It's no wonder that so many tourists come to this part of the country every summer with such stunning seaside views on offer.

"For those looking for more of a pebble beach, tourist hotspot Brighton Beach could be perfect for a family holiday, while Lulworth Cove is a fantastic choice for those looking for a beach with a learning twist. These findings situate Cornwall as the best location in the UK for a beach holiday this year, with four of the top entries in the top ten. No doubt any holiday based in Cornwall will be a fantastic one."
