Seaside towns with harbours

[snowstorm2012]

Hi, am looking to go away for a week next June and can anyone recommend a lovely harbour location with nice restaurants. Just husband and I going. We loved Weymouth this year and spent many afternoons at the harbour watching the boats go by but fancy trying somewhere different.

Any suggestions welcome, thank you! (We live in Bucks and happy to travel up to 4 hours approx by car)

Whitby

Sorry, that’s probably a bit far

Southwold?

Poole, Swanage, Christchurch, Lymington, Havant (Emsworth Harbour), Portsmouth, Southampton

Ramsgate, Kent is lovely with many other beautiful places nearby

Thank you all, will have a look at all of these - much appreciated ☺️

Cowes

Or if you don’t mind a longer boat trip, St Helier or St Peter Port

Another one for whitby , my very favourite place
lots on the south coast too

I'm going to third Whitby. We are just on our way back (I'm in the car as I type) and we've had the best time. I can't wait to come again!

Whitby seems very popular so will have a look, thank you 👍🏼

Exmouth

Rye

Swanage

Portland Bill

Also West Bay in Bridport

I was going to suggest nipping over to Guernsey! Beautiful, although not sure what the flight prices are like these days.

Brixham

Brixham or Weymouth.

Sorry to be negative but I hated Whitby. I have been a few times and I just don't like it at all.
It gets very busy and crowded and I didn't find anywhere nice to sit around the harbour for food.

Lots of cheap cafes and fish and chip shops though.

Brixham

Salcombe
dartmouth

Polperro

Salcombe! Totally beautiful!

Conwy
Seahouses

Thank you all - salcombe and brixham look beautiful!

West bay I can second, nice and small though it is really small town.

Fowey
Dartmouth

Porthleven
