England's most crime-infested beaches can today be named and shamed.
Brighton Beach – arguably the country's most famous – topped the table, Daily Mail analysis found.
More than 1,500 crimes or reports of anti-social behaviour such as street drinking, littering and begging occured along that 6-mile stretch of pebbles last year. That equated to at least four each day.
Yet when considering size, top of the charts came a tiny fishing quay in Devon.
The strip of sand in Teignmouth, barely 50m wide, saw 46 crimes or reports of anti-social behaviour in the year ending June. That amounted to a rate of 260 per 1,000 square metres – almost 100 times higher than that of Brighton Beach.
