What's your favourite UK seaside town?

[Whathappenedtothelego]

Looking for somewhere for a traditional seaside holiday.

I'd like a nice, safe, sandy beach.
Water warm enough to swim (or at least wade) in.
A few shops, cafes, fish and chips and ice cream within walking distance.
Don't really want nightlife, arcades etc.
What's your favourite?

Another vote for beautiful croyde although it’s more a village than a town

Amroth, Looe, Charmouth or the whole of Jersey 👌

Deal, Cromer or Aberystwyth (the last is sentimental because it was my university town). Or Whitby.

Perranporth

Lytham

papergirl nice to see Tywyn being mentioned. Lovely place. Been going 20 years.
Also like Beer, Padstow area, Southwold.

Whitby, Sandsend, Robin Hoods Bay, all are stunning. I love Seahouses near The Farne Islands as well.

Sidmouth! Down here at the moment for folk week and it’s glorious. Stone beach but otherwise everything you could ask for.

No there's a crazy golf on the promenade bit now at Saltburn. Only a small one, but you can win a free game at the end.

Another vote for Alnmouth, but I don’t want to be too enthusiastic about it in case it becomes too wildly popular.

We go to Hayle in Cornwall, near St Ives, it's a wonderful beach.

Whitstable in Kent which is traditional and lovely.

And Charmouth near Lyme Regis, where you can pick up fossils which have washed up with the tide.

Seahouses, Tynemouth or Filey

Tenby takes the crown.

Or Llandudno

@teamunicorn yes of course, just near the loos

Another vote for Tenby, its slightly quieter to stay further around the bay in either Saundersfoot (nice campsite on the hill Moreton farm) or Amroth great beach has a large caravan site with very easy access to the beach. The sea is warmer along this coast as its a very long sandy beach with a very high and low tide so it warms up nicely.

Also fossils under cliffs at Walton on Naze next town to frinton

Following with interest! Loveee love love the seaside we go all different ones quite reguarly but sadly haven't found one without arcades

Croyde
Hayle in Cornwall 💕
Tenby

Plenty of things to do near Swanage without the need to use the chain link ferry

Some of these are lovely...ie perranporth but it doesn't feel traditional.

Southwold has peir and arcades and looks very Victorian. :-)

No arcades at aldeburgh!

Tenby 100%. Just got back from a glorious week there and have got the post-hol blues

Looe or swanage.
Sidmouth is quite nice as well.

Hayle or Fowey in Cornwall
Bournemouth/Southbourne a bit quieter

Oxwich
