Welcome once again!

Welcome peter, Some great suggestions. I’ve done Lyme Regis from your list and Woolacombe is on the to do list.

Seatown Beach in Dorset is also good. I believe it is privately owned but the information sign in the car park doesn’t say anything against about drone use. Interesting cliffs to west and east. Plus, Golden Cap.

Bear in mind that Studland Bay beach is National Trust-owned down to the low water mark.

Nairn Beach in the Highlands overlooking Invergordon, August 2020 a weeks jolly with my girls
