9 of the Most Exotic Beaches in the UK<\/h2>\n

1. Kynance Cove<\/a>, Cornwall<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Kynance<\/h2>\n

Reminds us of… Spiaggia di Li Cossi, Sardinia<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Spiaggia<\/p>\n

The National Trust’s Kynance Cove is the jewel in the crown of the Lizard Peninsula on Cornwall’s south coast. Famed for its crystal-clear water, fine white sand and backed by dramatic rocky outcrops, this picturesque beach is certainly one of England’s best beaches<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Not only that, it also has a very exotic, Mediterranean feel, bearing a striking resemblance to Spiaggia di Li Cossi on Sardinia’s north coast, often referred to as heaven on earth. Access your own slice of heaven much closer to home and swap Sardinia for South Cornwall with the destination dupe<\/a>.<\/p>\n
