A new study that looked at the number of hashtags for beaches across the UK has found that Devon has the most tags, making its beaches the most Instagrammed in Britain! Though the individual beach with the most tags was in East Sussex, Devon’s beaches have collectively accumulated 2,807,763 hashtags so far this summer according to Mojo Mortgages.

They found that the most popular locations in Devon were Plymouth, Paignton, Ilfracombe and Torquay, with Plymouth coming in second in the UK for the number of hashtags. It was narrowly beaten to the top spot by Brighton.
