Wild Swimming Hidden Beaches: Explore Britain's Secret Coast

In this spectacular and practical guide Daniel Start, author of Wild Swimming, charts Britain’s 400 most beautiful secret beaches, describing the best places to swim, walk and explore, containing all the content from the best-selling book ‘Hidden Beaches’ (Wild Things Publishing, 2014, £16.99).

Britain has some of the most amazing coastline in the world, and it is more accessible than ever before, yet many of its beaches remain hidden. These little slices of peace and paradise welcome the intrepid adventurer and those in the know. So why not set out to discover our shell-white sands and blue lagoons, hidden smugglers’ coves and sea grottoes sparkling with coralline. Find a campsite on the beach and cook up supper on the sands, or seek out the best local seafood at welcoming inns. This app combines inspirational photos, engaging writing and practical information to make a truly original travel guide.
