Imagine a summer of swimming, exploring by the sea and discovering secret beaches and sandy coves, smugglers' caves and deep lagoons.

Wild Swimming: Coast provides all the practical information you'll need to find and enjoy more than 350 magical swims in some of the least-visited parts of our stunning coastline.

In this great British tour you'll be able to swim with dolphins in Cornwall, dive through rock arches in Dorset, discover wild beaches in Essex and explore deserted islands in Norfolk. You'll also read ancient tales of smugglers, poets, kings and pirates.
