Beach Check UK is an innovative new app which allows visitors to check the status of a beach before visiting in order to avoid congested beaches and to encourage them to discover nearby beaches that are quieter and less crowded. The free-of-charge app has just launched in Hayling Island, Hampshire, West Wittering, West Sussex, Camber Sands and Bexhill Beach, East Sussex, and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole on the UK’s south coast, as well as various other destinations around the UK.

England’s Creative Coast launched today with a digital launch event hosted by lead partner Turner Contemporary. This ambitious project spans the dramatic Essex, Kent and East Sussex coastlines, offering visitors a new outdoor cultural experience that innovatively connects art with landscape, local stories with international perspectives, and crosses between physical and digital realms.

An iconic part of the British seaside, dating back to the early 19th century, piers have been a seaside success story since the Victorian era - a unique heritage and tourism asset in our coastal towns. With more than 50 from which to choose (more than one for every week of the year…), England’s Coast, a new coastal booking and inspiration tool, invites us all to celebrate and explore these iconic structures when we can once more travel and escape to the coast.

Take in dramatic views across the cliff-tops, explore charming harbour towns and family-friendly resorts like Blackpool, Scarborough, Brighton, Margate or Bournemouth. “Or experience culture on England’s Creative Coast in the South East; wherever you visit, you’re guaranteed to discover something new. Walk a stretch of the England Coast Path, enjoy world-class seafood or gaze at the Dark Skies in our National Parks near to the coast; England’s Coast re-energises and inspires, just when we need it most.” Whether one of England’s wonderful regional coastlines is on your doorstep or you’re planning a trip later in 2021, here are some unmissable experiences to enjoy in each region this year along with ways to plan your trip with Englandscoast.com
