TWO UK beaches have been named among the top 50 in the world, ranking alongside shorelines in exotic places in the Caribbean and Mauritius.
The list was put together by Big 7 Travel using aggregated scores from previous media results, official Blue Flag locations and contributions from their editorial team.
After that process, they decided that two of the UK’s beaches were worthy of gracing the top 50, with one making the top 25.
That beach was Pedn Vounder in Cornwall, one of the UK’s best-loved beaches, which was rated higher than shores in Jamaica, Mauritius and Thailand.
