Where s the nearest beach to Birmingham?

Question

Me and the family want to visit the coast, but as we are new to the area, have no idea where the nearest beach is! please help :)

Answer 1

We went to Weston. It might not be the closest, but it's probably the nicest one that's easy to get to.

In fact, I drove to Weston and back in one evening. Don't really know why- we just fancied going to the beach!

Answer 2

probably south wales or maybe weston super mare

swansea and the gower peninsula are very nice (britain's 1st area of outstanding natural beauty!)

believe it or not this is mumbles - in swansea!

nice huh

Answer 3

You're about as far from the coast as you can ever get in England, but if you are in central Birmginham then these are the closest beaches:

Southport 106 miles

Weston Super Mare  111 miles

Skegness 135 miles

Hunstanton 136 miles

Southend 151 miles.

So, if you are in NE Birmingham then Skegness might be closest, etc etc.

Answer 4

i live in birmingham and we used to find either westo -super-mare, somerset or barmouth, wales

barmouth is better

Answer 5

Hi,

Weston S Mare may be the closest but in S. Wales Barry Island near Cardiff and Porthcawl near Bridgend are the closest resorts with several small beaches in between.

All the best PH
