Alternatives to Tenby?

Can anyone recommend seaside towns that have a similar 'vibe' to Tenby for a short break for me and my Partner please? We have already been to Salcombe, Lyme Regis and St Ives so would like to try somewhere different. I'm looking at Brixham - am I barking up the wrong tree? Thanks.

Beer in Devon or ilfracombe?

Staithes and Whitby in Yorkshire
Looe in Cornwall
Cromer in Norfolk

Another vote for Whitby. Conwy in North Wales is another medieval walled town but not much going on at night

Bowness in Cumbria

Another vote for Whitby!
Brixham is fine, it’s just a bit tired these days I think. We used to like Looe in Cornwall but haven’t been since the dc were little. Padstow is also nice but crowded in summer (no worse than St Ives though). I did like Aldeburgh in Suffolk if you fancy heading east.

Mumbles in south Wales?

Would also suggest Mumbles!

I think that Brixham is a great shout for a similar vibe.

Llandudno or New quay wales/cardigan Aberwystwyth
Tenby is utter shit, better beaches the other side of the bridge.
