United Kingdom
There is an oldy worldy feel to the beach, with the chalets and bare concrete steps, and the enormous sandy area to the west is a paradise for kids. The cliffs add a sense of untouched nature and provide great views across the bay to the Isle of Wight.
In Poole, near to Bournemouth. Can be reached by car or puiblic transport at the bottom of The Avenue, or by walking through the delightful woods from anywhere in Poole.
