If you’re a beach-goer, you might have different preferences when it comes to the atmosphere of the beach. Some people enjoy the hustle and bustle of a crowded beach during the summer, while others prefer a more peaceful and secluded experience. Luckily, England offers a variety of beaches to cater to everyone’s preferences.
A recent study conducted by motor finance firm Carmoola analyzed Tripadvisor data to determine the busiest and most popular beaches in England. In addition to identifying the crowded hotspots, the study also uncovered quieter alternatives for those who want to avoid the crowds and long lines for parking.
Let’s take a look at the busiest beaches in England. Fistral Beach in Cornwall takes the top spot with 464 out of 4,485 Tripadvisor reviews mentioning the word “busy.” This beach is also ranked as the third most popular in the country. Weymouth Beach in Dorset comes in second place in terms of both busyness and popularity. Woolacombe Beach in Devon takes the third spot for busyness, as well as the fourth spot for popularity.
To determine the busiest beaches, researchers analyzed Tripadvisor reviews and created a ranking based on the number of times the word “busy” was mentioned. Fistral Beach in Newquay, Cornwall, stood out with 464 reviews mentioning the word. This beach, known for its “golden sands, wild Atlantic swells, and consistent crashing waves,” is a popular destination for surfers.
Weymouth Beach takes the second spot in the rankings with 426 reviews mentioning “busy.” One Tripadvisor user noted that this beach has everything, from water sports to entertainment for kids, although it can get crowded on warm days. Brighton Beach in East Sussex ranks fourth in terms of busyness and seventh in terms of popularity. Scarborough Beach in North Yorkshire comes in fifth for busyness and eighth for popularity.
Next, let’s explore the most popular beaches in England. Bournemouth Beach claims the top spot in popularity. It offers stunning coastal views, cliff-top walks, and a range of attractions including restaurants and cafes. Although it is incredibly popular, it didn’t make the list of busiest beaches, making it a great option for a summer day out. Weymouth Beach takes second place in popularity, while Fistral Beach ranks third.
The rest of the top 10 most popular beaches include Woolacombe Beach, Gorleston-on-Sea Beach in Norfolk, Filey Beach in North Yorkshire, Brighton Beach, Scarborough Beach, Perranporth Beach, and Hengistbury Head Beach in Dorset.
