Posting here for traffic. Whether it’s a seaside town that you go to currently or went to as a child, I want to get to know! Tell me why you like it and what you done there - I want to hear all of your stories!

Sorry the “go!” and lack of your own favourite resort has put me off and can’t be remedied by making something up later

CheshireDing · 20/03/2025 17:05

Go or Discuss, both rude !

redcord · 20/03/2025 17:04

I suppose it makes a change from 'Discuss!'

you frighten me

AnnaQuayInTheUk · 20/03/2025 17:04

I'm not sharing mine as it's very wild and beautiful and I don't want to publicise it.

Why aren't you sharing yours OP?

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 20/03/2025 17:04

I really dislike the 'go' in that sentence.

As if we're all here clamouring to give you our tuppence worth.

This is exactly what Google Maps is for.

You first OP!

Also, YABU to post without explaining why you want to know. Are you planning a seaside holiday? Working in regenerating dying seaside towns? Holiday park manager? Journo?

I grew up visiting different seaside towns each year as a child, I have so many fond memories. I love hearing people speak about their lives knowing we all have different experiences and memories and I just thought it was a niche prompt to rattle someone’s memory! I guess I like hearing people’s stories :)

I'm sorry @thecherryfox but your tone of voice is a bit "off"...?!

Why on earth start a post (in the wrong forum, I hasten to add) without sharing why you want to know, or worse, which YOUR favourite location is?

I'll go first then seeing as you're so eager

Jaywick, Essex
Morecambe, Lancashire
Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire

And yet people will dutifully trot along and answer.

Kent coast - lots of beautiful beaches, from shingle to sand. Love exploring them.

ForTealBee · 20/03/2025 17:00

Torbay. It’s beautiful

GO?

I'm clutching my pearls at the lack of manners here 😁
