Shh, everyone – if you stay really quiet, you can hear summer coming.

No, really. It’s around the corner and unless you’re prepared and have a holiday booked, it’s time to start planning your staycation in beautiful Britain.

Heck, even if you do have a holiday booked, get yourself down to one of these gorgeous beaches in the UK.

A day beside the seaside is a great day out whatever age you are.

Many of us have vivid childhood memories of trips to the coast, from old fishing villages and bustling ports, to deck chairs and long piers, oh and of course let's not forget tucking into a fish and chip lunch.

The south east of England is home to many beaches from traditional seaside resorts such as Eastbourne and Margate, to the golden sands at Bournemouth and the hidden treasure that is West Wittering.

So, in no particular order, we have put together a list of some of our favourite beaches you can easily reach within Surrey and north-east Hampshire.

Nadchodzi lato, temperatury są coraz bardziej znośne, dni dłuższe i bardziej słoneczne. Jeżeli nie masz okazji uciec na prawdziwe plażowe wakacje za granicą, warto przyjrzeć się angielskim plażom, gdyż i te potrafią pozytywnie zaskoczyć.

Beach: Whenever you hear that word, thought of white and yellow sand; gorgeous sunset; beautiful chairs and smiling people passes your mind. Beaches are the only place where you just go to feel the nature, the strokes of the wind and to forget all your worries. You just want to live in the moment.

The photographers aren’t any exception. If any photographer goes to a beach, a camera is on his/her list at the very top. Rightly so, because beaches provide for an amazing set-up for beautiful photographs. You can take photos of almost anything – be it sand, the sea, the people or just the chairs and other furniture lying around.

We are showcasing some of the most interesting and exquisite photos taken at the beach. These photographs are some of the best beach photos you are going to find online. Hope they inspire you and help you to take you own stunning photographs of a nearby beach.
