There are very few from what I understand, if you are looking at travelling I know a lovely one off the Pedar way in norfolk that you can ride on.
Hi Shandy.
I know, we're struggling to find anywhere. We don't mind travelling a bit though, we're gonna make a day of it I think before the summer season starts.

MY RS (near Chelmsford) go on beach rides at Shoeburyness near Southend, although I have never been myself. They last went on Xmas Eve. You can also ride at Cudmore Grove, Mersea Island, but I don't know what that is like either!
This is from www.hoofmove.co.uk (who list beach riding locations)
Essex
Cudmore Grove, Mersea Island - Two hours after high tide. Contact Ranger 01206 383868 - Horse trailers are not allowed along Bromans Lane, however, horseboxes are.
Shoeburyness - East Beach Contact Pier & Foreshore Officer 01702 215620. Bylaws restrict riding to before 9am and after 9pm in the summer.

East of Hunstanton is also good, Holme-next-the-Sea is the nearest town but not sure about parking. Now I don't want to scare you but keep a good eye on the sand, it can be VERY soft underfoot in places, alway best to walk the outward leg to check the conditions first.
iding on most of the council run norfolk beaches is banned in the summer period which stretches from Easter to the end of October. However in the winter months a bit of a blind eye is turned. The main problem is access for the horse boxes and the problem of parking and there are height restrictions in place in many of the car parks.
There are exceptions. The private estates, for example Holkham Estates, allows horse riding on Holkham Beach all year round and there is car parking and ready access - it is quite a magnificent beach to ride on.
There is a fee for the horsebox, and safety codes must be adhered to, with particular attention to the tides. The beach is part of Holkham National Nature Reserve and is managed by Natural England.
Le Strange Estates allows riding on the Le Strange beach all year round but again there is no car parking.
For more information tel: 01485 532137.
There are very few places in Suffolk to ride mainly because most of the beaches are shingle or a combination of sand and shingle. Pakefield Beach near Lowestoft does allow riding all year round but only between the landmark of Pakefield Church and the beginning of Kessingland. There is no parking.
For more information call Pakefield Riding School tel: 01502 572257.
Holkham allow you to park the horse box there too..... just googled about and came up with that.
