Luccombe Beach - Isle of Wight
Luccombe Beach, an hidden gem is one of the remotest beaches on the island. It is situated between Shanklin Old Village and Bonchurch and offers impressive rock formations as well as the oxidation of the rocks. This beach can now only be accessed by walking along the beach from Shanklin, which is impossible at high tide and if you spend long here you risk getting cut off by the tide.
