Hello everyone!

 

To follow suit with the O2 Community's Summer 2022 event, I've come up with a rather tricky British Beaches Word Scramble. I say tricky because I've included some not-so-famous beaches and, of course, there are plenty of Cornish and Welsh ones too. To unscramble them, you will need to figure out the name of the beach and the region or county where they are situated in, such as "Brighton - East Sussex".

Enough of introductions, let’s have some fun!
