Voted best British beach for a bank holiday break by readers of The Times, Holkham beach is three miles long and, at low tide, half a mile deep.

One mum said it took her husband and daughter 20 minutes to get to the water's edge. A beach for simple activities such as sandcastle building or kite flying, there are no lifeguards or facilities here. There is a nudist section on the western side of the beach. Pay parking 10 minutes away on Lady Ann's Drive.
