Dorset

Bournemouth's 7 miles of soft, well-sorted sand, and fine promenade, Dorset, England

Bugbog's best UK beaches listing starts on the south west coast with Dorset, Devon and Cornwall counties due to the many spectacular beach locations, the outstanding sights and entertainments available on 'off beach' days, the plethora of awards for efficiency and cleanliness received and the warmer, drier weather due to the latitude and micro-climates.
The Marine Conservation Society in 2009 gave the UK's south west coast [followed by the south east coast] the highest percentage of top grade beaches at 59%. The lowest grade was achieved by the north west of England. Overall beach cleanliness standards throughout the UK are falling, with 370 recommended in 2009 against 444 in 2008.
