A BEACH in the UK has such beautiful sand, that it has been compared to the coastline of California.<\/p>\n

And it was even given the first Blue Flag in the country, as well as often being named one of the best beaches in Europe.<\/p>\n

Cefn Sidan, in Wales, was given the prestigious award for its cleanliness and safety, with more than eight miles of sand. <\/p>\n

However, it's not just its sandy beach that has attracted tourists over the years.<\/p>\n

It is said to have more than 300 shipwrecks along the coastline, dating<\/span> back as far as 1668.<\/p>\n

One of the wrecks that is on land is the SV Paul, which crashed after leaving Nova Scotia in October 1925, aiming to land in Pembrokeshire.<\/p>\n

While no one died in the wreck, its cargo of expensive tropical timber was taken by locals, with many houses still using it now.<\/p>\n

Otherwise when the tide is out,you can also see the hull of the SS Paul.<\/p>\n

And some of the shipwrecks weren't due to weather, but pirates onshore, who would attract sailors before robbing them.<\/p>\n

But in modern day, there is another amazing sight at the beach too.<\/p>\n

The beach has been used by the RAF to land some of their aircraft as part of a training exercise.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, an Atlas 1400M was spotted landing with aircrew practising sand landings.<\/p>\n

It's also been a site for animals too – back in 2015, the most endangered sea turtle washed up on the shore, while seals have often been spotted.<\/p>\n

People have raved about the beach on TripAdvisor.<\/p>\n

One person wrote: "This beautiful beach goes on for miles which you don't seem to bump into many people, great for peace and quiet seekers."<\/p>\n

Another agreed: "Beautiful huge beach. Not a lot of people about so nice<\/span> and comfortable."<\/p>\n

A third wrote: "This has to be one of the best beaches in the UK."<\/p>\n

The beach has toilets and beach wheelchairs available for rent, with dogs allowed in certain areas all year round.<\/p>\n

Tourists are advised to stay away from the sand dunes, with them at risk of collapsing.<\/p>\n
