Everybody loves a holiday in the sun, but if your Stag do budget isn’t going to stretch to an expensive holiday abroad or that normal life stands in the way of a your stag weekend abroad, there are plenty of beach destinations for your UK Stag do which offer just as much fun, if maybe not as much sun, as any of the best beach destinations abroad. People often ask which are the top 5 beach destinations for your UK Stag do, so, because we are kind people and want to make your lives easier, we’ve complied for you our list of top 5 beach destinations for your UK Stag do.

Bournemouth

Heading the list for top 5 beach destinations for your UK Stag do is sunny, sunny Bournemouth! Bournemouth offers 7 miles of beautiful sandy beaches in its own unique dry, sunny microclimate, giving it some of the best weather in the UK. As a top 5 beach destination for your UK Stag do, Bournemouth has the vibrant nightlife and wide variety of affordable quality accommodation of a top tourist destination with no shortage of entertainment. As a University town, with two highly sought after Universities, there is no shortage of partygoers and wild night life even outside of the summer holiday season. With great weather, lively nightlife and a great range of affordable accommodation and entertainment year round makes a Bournemouth stag do our number one pick for the top 5 beach destinations for your UK Stag do

Newquay

Coming in second in our top 5 beach destinations for your UK stag do is the Surfers’ paradise of Newquay. In the summer months Newquay is packed with partygoers, who come to surf all day and party all night. Newquay’s golden sand beaches catch powerful Atlantic swells, which provide some of the best surfing conditions in the UK. In the summer season Newquay offers a legendary nightlife to go with the surfing. Aside from surfing and nightlife, Newquay has a great variety of accommodation, whether you are looking for hotel accommodation or large private houses and the surrounding areas offer all sorts of activities from quad biking to clay pigeon shooting. In season Newquay has the great weather and plenty of decent accommodation and entertainment, but out of season you don’t have so much of the lively nightlife and for this reason we rate a Newquay stag do firmly as number two in our top 5 beach destination for your UK Stag do.

Blackpool

Just behind Newquay in our list of top 5 beach destinations for your UK Stag do is Blackpool. This popular seaside resort in the north of England, on the coast of the Irish Sea also offers 7 miles of golden sand beaches, as well as the iconic Pleasure Beach. Blackpool has a brash, lively nightlife and a wide range of bars and restaurants for Stag dos to enjoy. Blackpool also offers a great range of accommodation for your Stag weekend, varying from budget hostel accommodation to luxury private houses. Blackpool has something for everyone, however being located in the north of England it doesn’t have the fine weather of some more southern destinations, which is why we rate a Blackpool stag do as number 3 in our top 5 beach destinations for your UK Stag do.

Aberdeen

Next on our list of top 5 beach destinations for your UK stag do is Aberdeen. For those looking for a beach holiday north of the border, Aberdeen hits the mark, although we would advise against swimming in the sea as even in August the water temperature is only a chilly 57 degrees Fahrenheit! Aberdeen is the third largest city on Scotland and one of the wealthiest, due to the lucrative oil industry. As well as the beautiful beach, located about a mile and a half away from the city centre, Aberdeen offers a great selection of bars and restaurants, as well as a lively nightlife. Aberdeen also provides your Stag party a great selection of hotel accommodation to suit all budgets. Despite the chilly sea, there are plenty of other activities for you to do around Aberdeen, and for this reason, an Aberdeen stag do hits a respectable number 4 on our top 5 beach destinations for your UK Stag do.

Brighton

Finishing our list of the top 5 beach destination for your UK Stag do is Brighton, down on the south coast. Brighton’s beach is an iconic beach holiday destination, despite the lack of sand. Brighton offers your Stag weekend a superb nightlife, with a great range of pubs and bars for you and the lads to choose from. Being a popular beach holiday location, there are lots of activities to enjoy, with all your stag weekend favourites, from paintballing to go karting and much more. Brighton also has a great range of accommodation for your Stag do, from hostels to luxurious houses, however its proximity to London can make Brighton more expensive that other beach destinations for your UK Stag do. Because of the cost and the lack of sandy beach we would rate a Brighton stag do as number 5 on our list of top 5 beach destinations for your UK Stag do.
