Recommend me a coastal town in the Uk

[LittleEsme]

...where me and my two besties can sit on a balcony, wrapped up in blankets, sipping wine and over looking the sea.

During the day, we'd love to mooch around a town with lovely little shops, buy some nice things, have a few nice walks, nice food out, stroll on the beach.

Any recommendations around the Uk?!

I live near Deal and walk in every weekend, lovely town with lots of great places to eat.

Portrush

also consider
Portstewart
Ballycastle

Definitely Rye (with a walk along Rye Harbour / Winchelsea Beach)

Agreed. It also has caves!

Hornsea.

Hornsea is worth a visit. Quiet and not too commercialised. Also not too far from Bempton cliffs.

Swanage is exactly what you're looking for.

North Berwick. Not Whitby.

If you don't mind a trip Ventnor, Isle of Wight.

Come to Falmouth!
