We might not have the green light for our favourite overseas destinations but motorhome travel is well and truly on the green list. Check out the following UK beaches that are the closest to feeling abroad!
If you weren’t able to tick those hot countries off your bucket list this summer why not just add on some different locations, slightly closer to home!
With countries flying on and off the green list on a daily basis it’s a much safer bet to swap the wings for wheels and start planning your summer UK road trip.
Unless you’ve explored every nook and cranny of the British coast you might be pleasantly surprised with what you find dotted around its perimeter…here are the top four beaches we recommend to feel as close to foreign shores as possible.
*As shown in the image. If you’re looking for a piece of paradise this summer, Porthcurno Beach is the place for you! Located in the far west of Cornwall, this gorgeous beach is covered in fine soft white sand, surrounded by a turquoise bay and granite cliffs on both sides providing shelter. It’s also both family and dog friendly, with natural rock pools to paddle in and a long stretch of beach to explore.
This beach has all the character of a holiday abroad, but is conveniently just a drive away from wherever you are in the UK! Blackpool Sands is a Blue Flag Award-winning beach surrounded by evergreens and scented pines, giving it a Mediterranean feel. It’s one of the most popular family beaches in the area and is also on the South West Coast path, making it an ideal starting point to walk along with the beautiful South Devon coastline.
Part of The Jurassic Coast World Heritage site, Durdle Door is one of Dorset’s most iconic beaches and beauty sites. Its cove and limestone arch makes it a popular photography location, and the spectacular scenery can be taken in while relaxing on a shingle beach rich in fossils. Once you’ve parked your motorhome or vehicle in the car park above, the beach is accessible by a 15-minute walk from the South West Coast Path.
If you are looking for a beach that offers both leisure time and activity then Joss Bay in Kent might be the place for you. It’s Kent’s best-known surfing destination and has the longest established surf school on the coast. Behind its steep chalk cliffs also lies the North Foreland golf course if you prefer a drier sport. The beach itself stretches for 200 metres and has the full English seaside experience; offering a beach cafe, toilets, plenty of car parking and deck-chair hire.
Travel the coast in style - hire a motorhome and visit all four beaches this summer!

"Dear Andy and Steve, I just wanted to drop you both a line to say thanks for a great day when we came to collect our Starblazer Motorhome. And to thank the valeters for all the hard work that they have done on it. IT LOOKS FANTASTIC. It has been a great experience dealing with Timberland. Everyone has been most helpful and friendly."
"Many thanks for the delivery of my son's motorhome. You deserve a medal for your kindness and helpfulness. Thank you once again."
"On our second Motorhome from Timberland. We've always had excellent service and help when we've needed it. Friendly and personal, staff have now become friends. What are you waiting for?!"
"Came down to get a feel for what kind of motorhome would suit me and my partner. I was delighted at how we were looked after by the staff. It was a cold day so hot drinks were offered and the staff were happy to let us wander around. Great service."
"My husband and I wish to express our thanks and appreciation for the excellent service we received from everyone when we recently purchased our motorhome. Good service is a rarity these days; hard to find and much-valued."
"We just wanted to thank you for making our stay so pleasant when we had to have repairs carried out on our motorhome. A special thank you to Simon and Lee as we feel that they went out of their way to help. Again our Thanks."
"Great company, great service, friendly and helpful staff. Lee and Julian are very approachable and knowledgeable, always willing to go that extra mile, even out of hours. Highly recommended."
"I have been a customer for, almost, eighteen years and currently own my eighth motorhome. I have had issues with some of my vehicles but all have been resolved at the earliest possible date, as I live 148 miles away. I have NEVER had just cause not to trust anyone at Timberland and would certainly never take my business elsewhere. They have all become my friends over the years and I class them as my second family..enough said."
"Visited yesterday and received a very warm welcome. Large range of motorhomes and the sales people very happy to show us around. Spending time to find out what we wanted for our budget...."
"It has been a pleasure to do business with you, and to deal with a good friendly team."
"Have purchased my last 3 motorhomes from here the staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly and always willing to go that extra mile."
