Best beaches for finding knick-knacks

August 21, 2007

070821-beachcomber.jpgWondering what to do this coming cold bank holiday weekend? Why not try a spot of beachcombing.

Miranda Krestovnikoff, presenter of BBC series Coast, and professional beachcomber* Cathy Yow, have compiled a list of the top 10 UK beaches for finding washed up bits and pieces.

Clearly the booty won’t be as good as when the MSC Napoli ran aground off Branscombe beach in January this year. Here are the top 10 beaches – happy hunting...

  1. Runswick Bay, North Yorkshire
  2. Newgale beach, Pembrokeshire
  3. Westwood Ho!, Devon
  4. Cowes, Isle of Wight
  5. Camber, East Sussex
  6. Frinton-on-Sea, Essex
  7. Herne Bay, Essex
  8. Barmston, East Yorkshire
  9. Combe Martin, Devon
  10. Cresswell Dunes and foreshore, Northumberland

* Do professional beachcombers really exist?
