Best travel tips for UK and European beaches
Derrynane beach, County Kerry, Ireland
To view one of Ireland's most stunning view, one must visit the Atlantic Ocean's side in south-west Ireland. Despite the Irish weather, Derrynane beach can loosely pass as a tropical location, thanks to its blue shade of water and the rocky islets offshore. The background 
scenery is enhanced by the dramatic Ring of Kerry mountains, Scariff Island, and the Abbey Island ruins which you could calmly walk towards. The beach is not as developed for tourism, but you could enjoy some local beer at Keating's pub, or just hop to Caherdaniel which is nearby.

Achmelvich, the Highlands
This beach is super clean, and its surrounding view reminds us of what the world could have looked like, if it weren't for us humans. There is a nice picnic area, in the youth hostel in the area, which its staff could supply with some hospitable 
service and great tips for the outdoor activities on the beach or at sea.
Lansallos beach
This beach is located in south-east Cornwall, close to Polperro. The beach has a trustworthy car park nearby, and a farm campsite right in front of it. It is a
children-friendly trip, since there is an easy walking track to the waterfall, and other NT-installed activities. However, there are no facilities, so bear in mind you need to take care of it yourself.
