If you could live anywhere in UK, with the only criteria being ...

It was a 15 min drive from a beach, where would pick?

I'd pick somewhere near Woolacombe, as we love the beach there!

Somewhere near Brighton...beach, but also a bit of buzz too.

Where I live - 5 min walk from the sea

What earwicga said but we are a 5minute drive/30 minute walk (with children)

Isle of Skye.

MaryBS, we're going to Ilfracombe in June, haven't been since I was a child and can still remember swimming at Woolacombe (and the shell beach next to it).

Trebarwith Strand - North Cornwall

or Cadgwith

both of the above for peace and quiet

for liveliness and culture Brighton

Saying 'where I live' isn't much help!

Bournemouth or Brighton

Studland, or elsewhere in lovely Dorset.

Whitby area.

Sorry ijudge - Anglesey.

cornwall

Pembrokeshire.

Cornwall...somewhere near Boscastle

I have rather a fondness for Broadstairs in Kent. It has lovely sandy beaches, a town centre with reasonable everyday type shops, but isn't overly popular or trendy. Ds likes it too.

St Andrews

Aldeburgh or Southwold

Alnmouth, maybe.

Or Holt - inland, but easy access.

Or anywhere in the Channel Islands (if they count).

Polridmouth, near Fowey.

Devon or Cornwall. Or Scotland.

Brighton.

We're moving to Dorset in May :)

Orkney.
