The UK has a diverse and beautiful coastline with hundreds of beaches ranging from quiet coastal retreats through to lively resort areas.

The UK Beach Management Forum is a national membership forum run by beach operators which represents the interests of UK beach managers providing a coordinated voice for beach operators in the management, sustainability, quality and development of the UK’s coastline – an amazing recreational asset.

It aims to raise standards and ensure that our beaches are managed to the highest standards for the benefit of all beach users.

Its 40+ members are practitioners who manage some of the UKs best known and loved beaches from lively resort areas through to quiet rural retreats.  Harnessing their immense experience, the forum provides a means for sharing ideas, disseminating best practice and developing solutions to beach management issues.
