Cool beach access for avgas heads

If you don't mind a channel crossing,

Ostend (EBOS) is a 600m walk from the beach (from the terminal exit to the sand).

Quiberon (LFEQ) has a hotel at the end of the runway which has beach access

and in the UK I can recommend:

Shoreham just 1 km from Shoreham beach.

Manston and Newquay are also good, but they require folding bikes, a taxi fare or a somewhat longer walk to get your feet wet.

Maybe you want to specify a bit more what it is you're looking for ? Cheap landing fees ? Walking distance ? Hotel facilities ? A lively city nearby ? A 1 mile runway ? an IFR approach ?
