I want to have a go on a beach, but which one? As mentioned in another post, it would be good if there was a guide for people that don't live near the beaches as to which ones you can go to....

I'm in Milton Keynes and I don't want to travel too far (max 2 hours each way)...

Any recommendations?
Thanks

Willen would never give permission. I go to Bognor sometimes. 2 hours from MK.

for, choose the beach,
research on sites that sell old postcards
and find beaches that had a high occupancy once

example, a small beach of Brittany, photo years from 1920 to 1930
in 2013 she gave me over 20 gold rings .....
