It may be autumn, but that doesn’t stop us settling down on one of our extra-large luxurious beach towels with a good book for a few hours.

Here are our top 5 UK beaches to give you some inspiration. They range from tranquil sands in Scotland to bustling beaches in popular seaside towns, so there’s something for all tastes.
