In the case of England, it wasn’t our first thought that we should plan our summer beach vacation there. Maybe that will change now. We show a British Palm Beach.
We do not associate the Brits with beautiful white sands and beaches, although we do have one of the most dangerous beaches in the world, Sandbanks. The town of Poole, located in the county of Dorset, is on the south coast of England, and the affluent settlement area is Sandbanks. It is a narrow headland of about one square kilometer that juts out into the mouth of Poole Harbour.
This truly magnificent land of wonders is known for having the fourth highest property prices in the world in 2005 and is also known for its award winning beach.

Sandbanks Beach is arguably the best beach in the UK – for its soft golden sands, crystal clear waters, stunning scenery and commitment to the environment. I was lucky enough to check it out in person, and it’s really no exaggeration.
It’s an amazing place, and it’s no coincidence that it’s been awarded the coveted Blue Flag status for thirty-one years in a row.
Sandbanks is mostly residential, with property extending east from the harbor to The Avenue, Poole’s eastern boundary. Apartments often sell for millions of pounds and many famous people have homes here.
