【题目】 In a hot summer, there's no better place than a UK beach-but even in more typical weather these shores offer walks, wildlife and picnics.

Runswick Bay, North Yorkshire

A jumble of whitewashed cottages overlook a curl of golden sand and the open sea in this former herring-fishing village. Many of the homes are now holiday accommodation and locate one on top of the other, linked by paths and walkways rather than streets.

Stay Castle House (sleeps six, three nights from 500) at the top of the village has sweeping views of the bay from a comfortable window seat.

Blakeney Point, Morston, Norfolk

For the best chance of seeing grey seals, arrive at Blakeney Point by ferry, or book a seal-spotting trip with one of the local ferry companies at Morston Quay. Grey seal pups are born during the winter and spend warmer months basking on sandbanks around the Point.

Stay The White Horse on the river's edge in Blakeney (family suite from 129).

Forelands, Bembridge, Isle of Wight

The substantial village of Bembridge has three beaches, each with its own character. Pick up a crab sandwich to take with you at the Beach Hut Beachside Bar & Seafood Kitchen, or build up an appetite and feast on local lobster at the Crab & Lobster Inn.

Stay The Spinnaker Houseboat (sleeps six, three nights from 647. 50, seven from 925) looks out across Bembridge harbor.

Kingsgate Bay, Broadstairs, Kent

The lack of a convenient car park means that Kingsgate Bay, between Margate and Broadstairs, is quieter than other beaches on the Thanet coast. A short walk from the car park at neighbouring Joss Bay (popular with surfers), however, will take you to this sheltered sandy cove with its sea caves and chalk stacks.

Stay The Botany Bay Hotel (family rooms from 80) has some dog-friendly rooms.
