The eerie walking trail through 'Britain's only desert' with breathtaking sea views

This unusual beach has fascinated visitors, with many saying it looks like a scene from a movie.


Unlike any other coastal spot in England, this UK beach stands out for its unique landscape, which tourists often compare to a film set.


Dungeness Beach in Kent is well known for its stunning sea views and is a popular walking destination in the southeast.

What makes this beach so surreal is its setting—positioned between two lighthouses, with Dungeness nuclear power station visible from the shore.


Many visitors describe it as stark yet mesmerising, with an atmosphere unlike anywhere else they’ve ever been.


It sits at the southernmost tip of Kent’s coastline, near the Romney Marsh Nature Reserve.


Dungeness Beach is also home to an incredible variety of wildlife, with many species thriving in its unique environment.

Just a short drive away are the medieval town of Rye and the sandy shores of Camber Sands, two of East Sussex’s most popular tourist spots.


Although it may not be as famous as its neighbouring destinations, Dungeness offers a one-of-a-kind experience for those looking to explore somewhere different.


If you're planning a visit, Dungeness is just over two hours from London and sits roughly halfway between Dover and Hastings.


Remember - LeaveNoTrace!


As with anywhere outdoors, kindly keep these areas pristine and wild by taking all trash with you. The amount of complaints we have seen since the pandemic is crazy. It's really not that hard to take your rubbish with you!


Litter tends to spread, so if you see any and are able to pick it up and dispose of it outside the hidden gem, it will help keep the area tidy.
