Recommended by fashion designer Savannah Miller, she says: "It’s unspoilt, natural and wild, with no amenities and a vast expanse of sand when the tide goes out"

"Holkham beach is huge, so you can always find an empty spot for yourself," said jewellery business founder Monica Vinader

🐚Ashlett Creek, Hampshire

"At Ashlett Creek, a small, pretty harbour, you can hire paddleboards or kayaks with The New Forest Paddle Sport Company and eat at the The Jolly Sailor, a 160-year-old smugglers’ inn," Fiona Drummond tells @Telegraph

🌊Hatta Byng, editor of House & Garden, rents a cottage here every year.
