With the recent heatwave across the UK, the beach has been the perfect place to be, particularly for single people.
In fact, it seems those dipping their toes in the ocean to cool down are keeping one eye on the waves and the other on the lookout for a potential new crush to kick off their summer of love.
We’ve all seen the romantic beach scenes from Grease and The Notebook, right? Well, if you want your own magical movie moment, it’s never been easier to know where to look.
One of the leading dating apps, 'happn', which relies on its geolocation tool to show users potential crushes they have crossed paths with, has revealed the top beaches across the UK where singles are most likely to find each other according to their geolocation data.
And one of them is right here in Lancashire with Blackpool Beach hitting the number two spot for the hottest beach locations to meet a potential match.
As you build a sandcastle under your beach umbrella, your next crush could be a few waves away, so, if you’re looking for love as you float in the sea this summer, these are the beaches where you have the greatest chance of meeting someone.
The list itself is based on where the most matches have been made on happn using its internal data.
