Beach Access Audit UK v2

  • Beach Access Project Audit

  • Participant Information

    The beach access project audit is designed to enable anyone with a passion for beach access to audit beaches across the UK.

    This information in conjunction with the Beach Access Survey will be collated to create a data and visual representation of beach access in the UK.

    An audit is always open to interpretation and some questions may not always be exactly relevant to the beach you are auditing. Just do your best and add any notes in the comments box at the end.


    Data and images will be shared online and will become part of a report detailing current beach access across the United Kingdom.  

    By completing a beach access audit you become a Beach Access Champion and are now part of a movement to drive the change required to make UK beaches and blue space accessible to everyone....
