WIDEMOUTH beach has been recognised as one of the cleanest beaches in the UK.

As more and more Brits opt to stay in the UK during the summer months, the beach remains one of the biggest assets of a staycation.

Whether it’s the refreshing sea air, beautiful golden sands — or even the delicious seaside smell of fish and chips that draws you to the beach, there’s one thing everyone can agree on: a clean beach is a great beach.

The team at Ann’s Cottage know how important it is for a beach to be clean in order for it to be enjoyed, and conducted research to find out where the cleanest beaches in the UK were located, including Widemouth Sand, Widemouth Bay.

The cleanest beaches met the criteria of ‘Excellent’ water quality rating; Blue Flag status; Seaside Award holder; negligible traces of e. coli or enterococci in the past year.
