New research has revealed that Cornwall’s Kynance Cove is the UK’s most Instagrammable beach, but East Sussex's Brighton Beach comes in close second, with Camber Sands snatching the 9th spot. 

A study by photo wall art creator StoryBoards analysed Instagram hashtag data and the length of 50 of the UK’s most popular beaches to find the top ten beaches and coves with the highest hashtags per metre count.  

Brighton Beach is a popular tourist hotspot and has over one million posts on Instagram, which equates to 214 posts per metre of the three-mile-long beach. Brighton Beach is host to multiple watersports such as windsurfing, Kayaking and sailing for tourists to enjoy.

Fistral Beach is the third most Instagrammable beach, with over 134,000 posts. Fistral Beach is often called the UK’s best surfing location and has 180 posts on Instagram per metre of beach. The beach is home to the international surfing centre and holds many surfing-related contests and events throughout the year.  

With 174 Instagram posts per metre, the fourth most Instagrammable beach is Lulworth Cove in Dorset, which is connected to Durdle Door. Located on the Jurassic coast, it is a beautiful spot to see how the earth has evolved over millions of years.  

Scarborough Beach is the fifth most Instagrammable beach in the UK; the beach boasts 119 posts per metre. Located in North Yorkshire, the beach features white sand and is popular due to attractions such as donkey rides and beautiful Victorian promenades for tourists to enjoy.   

The sixth most Instagrammable beach is revealed as Summerleaze in Cornwall. Summerleaze has 52 posts on Instagram per metre of the beach.   

Watergate Bay is the seventh most Instagrammable beach with 37 posts on Instagram per metre. Overall, Watergate Bay has 100,000 posts on Instagram.

The eighth most Instagrammable beach is Bournemouth Beach in Dorset, a tourist hotspot with 19 posts on Instagram per metre. Camber Sands in East Sussex and Beer Beach in Devon are the ninth and tenth most Instagrammable beaches, respectively.   

A spokesperson for StoryBoards commented on the findings: “For those looking for more of a pebble beach, tourist hotspot Brighton Beach could be perfect for a family holiday, while Lulworth Cove is a fantastic choice for those looking for a beach with a learning twist.” 

We think both Camber Sands and Brighton Beach offer the perfect spot for some couple shots if you're tying the knot in the area, and this research proves our point!

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

New Aspall research reveals the wedding traditions that are being dropped - from the bouquet toss and choreographed first dances, to the father-of-the-bride speech - and the modern alternatives taking their place. Speeches given only by men (36%), a choreographed first dance (34%) and the formal receiving line (30%) are among the wedding traditions that couples are keenest to ditch, a new study reveals. Wearing a veil, the 15-minute father-of-the-bride speech with no speech from the bride, and the traditional tiered fruit cake are also increasingly falling out of favour as Brits tie the knot, researchers found.
