Lots in Scotland! Especially the NW coast! Driven on beaches a bit when launching my Kayaks...
Also round Berwick. Lindisfarne seems not to be a problem, especially near the Causeway  Click image to enlarge Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's) |

No beaches in the West Mids!!! It started with a kiss, never thought it would come to this. SIII CSW Safari, limestone, (JAC 914N). Where is she now? It's not a car, it's a way of life! |

Thanks for that.
Porthmadog does look the best. It’s a shame it’s nearly 5 hours from me so might need to plan a few days there. I’m sure I saw a beach in West Mid but I could be wrong lol. Anything in the South East? Really just want somewhere to go where kids can run around all day. |

Yes there is a beach in the West Midlands - it's actually in Solihull so I'm sure they'll welcome Land Rovers

South of Weston Super Mare, Brean, Berrow, area had drive on beaches ... had good family time there years ago.
Do it while you can ... you miss those times when they have gone. It started with a kiss, never thought it would come to this. SIII CSW Safari, limestone, (JAC 914N). Where is she now? It's not a car, it's a way of life! |

Think you can still get on Ainsdale near Southport, although it’s not anything like as open as it used to be. When I was a kid my Dad used to take me and let me drive his car on the sands from Ainsdale to Southport, must have only been about 10. Probably get taken into care if that happened now! 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I thought Dungeness is all stones/shingle? And part of it’s an SSSI despite having the UK’s biggest nuclear power station on it, so I would image not much chance of getting to drive it.

All in Ireland, if you can get to them. In fact it is encouraged to leave seaside villages free of congestion.

The whole of the Sefton coast including Ainsdale and Southport are now national trust managed. Driving is restricted to parking areas. Although they are large areas you might as well drive in a builder yard on sand.
I used to work on the beaches and landys would go through brakes and ujs for fun. Part of the reason for restricting driving was lads hooning around. I responded to a lad who had sat on an old bonnet upside down and been towed like a sled by the lock loop. As it swung out as the car turned it flipped and all but cut his leg off. Smaller areas mean less speed and less danger. |

Was there earlier this year - stunning, unique but no chance of beach driving. Click image to enlarge Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right. |

Any chance of even parking close to the sea away from other people?
