This North West beach is named among best in the UK for a Boxing Day walk - check out 10 others

A North West beach has been named among the very best in the UK for a family Boxing Day walk.

Analysts from mother and baby retailer JoJo Maman Bébé ranked every UK beach using Google Maps, looking at its overall visitor rating, how many reviews it has received, and its proximity to shops and restaurants. A weighted rank was then calculated to give an overall beach score out of 100.

Whitby Beach in North Yorkshire came in first place with a rating of 4.7 on Google from 6,699 and an overall score of 98.0.

Formby beach flew the flag for the north west, coming in fifth place. The researchers found it had a Google score of 4.7 from 2,585 visitors and gave it an overall score of 89.1 out of 100.

No other North West beaches made the JoJo Maman Bebe list, but plenty have been hailed by experts over the years. In April 2023, TimeOut media placed Morecambe at number 28 in its ‘handpicked guide to the UK’s finest beaches’ –the only Lancashire beach to make the cut.

See our list below of 10 tempting beaches for Boxing Day walks in the North West this year.
