Holkham Beach, Golden sand beach in North Norfolk, England
The beach extends for four miles along the Norfolk coast, featuring vast stretches of sand bordered by pine forests and dunes.
The beach became part of the Holkham Estate in the 1700s, when the land was acquired by the Coke family of Norfolk.
The Household Cavalry conducts annual horse exercises on the beach each July, continuing a tradition that started in the 1990s.
Visitors can access the beach through Lady Anne's Drive, where a pay-and-display parking area charges between £3.60 and £13.50 depending on duration.
The beach transforms during low tide, revealing an extensive stretch of hard sand suitable for walking and horseback riding.
