Beach town 3-4 hours from West Midlands with overnight accomodation

[JohnMcCainsDeathStare]

Looks like next weekend is going to be hot and summer in the city in a word, blows so I want to us to go to the seaside next weekend. Was thinking going to Bournemouth and checking into a Premier Inn overnight on Saturday - are there any other places you might recommend?

You'll need to book fast, locations like that will be fully booked already / sky high prices.

Roughly where are you traveling from in the west mids?

In that amount of time from the West mids you can get to lots of places! Most of north wales, Scarborough?

Barmouth or one of the other towns/villages along that coast would be my pick. Maybe Anglesea. All less obvious than South coast which will be rammed with all of London!

Skeggy!

windfarms delightful at this time of year

I see that's there's availability at Highcliffe Hotel in Aberporth. We live in Birmingham and go to either Aberporth or north Norfolk e.g. Cromer, Sherringham or Hunstanton.

Scarborough is lovely! I was really pleasantly surprised when we went for a day trip while in N. Yorks. It's still got a very genteel Victorian feel to it and a lovely beach (although there is a tacky bit with arcades, etc). There is also a proper Italian gelateria in town.

I was coming on to say Bournemouth, Southbourne particularly. Where did you go?
