UK beach gets warm quicker than others for Easter and summer holidays
It’s the bank holiday tomorrow with most Brits getting a Fab Four day weekend off work to enjoy.
While thousands of us will be flying away somewhere abroad others know there’s plenty to enjoy within the UK.
The thought of heading to Camber Sands in 19C weather has us seriously tempted!

The nation’s best seaside towns were recently ranked showing off the best places for staycationers to drive to.
But, with spring weather finally breaking through the winter gloom thousands of tourists will be hoping to bag a spot with plenty of sunshine.
The best ranked beach towns aren’t always the ones most likely to feel the warmth.
Thankfully, with this in mind, Parkdean Resorts has analysed climate data to see which UK beaches get the warmest, the quickest.
To do this it looked at the best average and high temperatures to find the best UK beach destinations for a spring staycation.
While the unpredictable British weather might still mean you end up in windbreakers and wellies you’re more likely to get a sunny stay at some beaches than others.
Top of the list was Camber Sands, in East Sussex, which saw high temperatures of a whopping 19C during spring.
The area is ideal for a day trip or weekend away thanks to its wide, golden sand beach and pretty pine surroundings.
The higher likelihood of warm weather makes this one of the UK’s best beaches to visit at the weekend.
There’s also the opportunity to go kitesurfing, do waterspouts and even head to Drusillas Park for some theme park fun.
In the second spot was Dungeness Beach, Kent, with its highest spring temperatures hitting 18.6C.
The pretty pebble beach is long and wide offering plenty of spots for families and sunbathers.
Plus, there are often washed up rowboats great for taking photos with or examining with curious kids.
There are plenty of snack spots and pubs to grab lunch in too.
The third warmest beach in the UK was Studland in Shell Bay, Dorset.
Reaching highs of 16.1C in spring Shell Bay Beach is partly owned by the National Trust and so has a wild beauty about it.
It’s also partly a protected nature reserve while the rest is white sand as far as the eye can sea.
This hotspot is great for swimming – though the water will be cold – and sailing.
You can even book to go on a Jetski Safari or play crazy golf!
The fourth and fifth warmest beaches were both in Cornwall – Kynance Cove and Porthcurno Beach.
While neither reached the high temperatures of Camber Sands with highs of 16.6C and 16.1C respectively their beauty more than makes up for it.
Kynance Cove shows off turquoise waters and white sands in a pretty bay with restaurants and ice cream shops.
The cove can get extremely popular in summer so Spring may be a good choice for those who want more tranquility.
Porthcurno Beach is a little trickier to get to for most Brits as it’s located in far west Cornwall.
However, it’s well worth the journey as bright blue water stretches away from the large golden bay.
Set against a background of cliffs and the open-air Minack theatre there’s very little like it to be found in Great Britain.
Shell Bay Beach took third spot in the rankings, Kynance Cove fourth and Porthcurno Beach came in fifth.
