Great British beach activities: 10 best coastal runs

For families

Orcombe Point to Exmouth Marina, Devon

Exmouth has two miles of golden sand, and families who love a gentle run should head along the promenade from Orcombe Point to the Marina. It's flat all the way and, if you need refreshments, there are cafés and ice-cream kiosks. The Grove - a family-friendly pub - is perfect for a post-run lunch (www.exmouth-guide.co.uk).
