Where is the best bit of coast in the UK for watching really dramatic storms and waves?

Question

I mean at night, and obviously during the right time of year. Thanks!

Answer 1

The coast arround North Cornwall (Bude down to Newquay). Park your car up in the carpark at Boscastle and walk along the river and then follow the path up the cliff, there are billiant views of the coast. but make sure that you wear waterprof cloaths because even though you are about 200 feet above the sea you will get soaked by the spray.
Mind even on a dry day the waves are realy good, and the sea colour is a spetacular blue!
At night is looks realy good to.

I hope that helps.

Answer 2

Try up near Thurso: even with a mild gale, the entire fore-shore disappears under the waves. It's also at the junction of the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, so you get some truly vicious currents and counter-currents, which make for fascinating wave patterns.

Answer 3

Try Tory Island off the coast of Co. Donegal (Eire).
A force 12 gale there has to be seen, and felt.
Winter is the best time when a deep depression moving to the north east from mid-Atlantic to the Hebrides.

Answer 4

Not really the UK, but County Clare (Ireland) has spectacular Atlantic waves. Or try North Cornwall.

Answer 5

North Scotland. From Duncansby stacks East to Cape Wrath, and then down the West coast. Anywhere there you can't go wrong.

Answer 6

anywhere along the south coast of Cornwall,from Falmouth to Land`s End.

Answer 7
