Weymouth has the best UK beach, says the Times and Sunday Times.

The newspapers came up with their own list of stretches of sand in their best UK beaches survey published at the weekend.

It looked at 50 beaches in all, assessing them on 11 points, including local facilities and shops, and in some instances arcades were also mentioned in the report.

It has given Weymouth the overall best accolade, but has not given a ranking beyond that, preferring to break it up into six regional winners, three in England and one each in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
