Coastal towns with good walks

Looking for recommendations for coastal towns to spend a few days in 😊 Somewhere fairly easy to reach by public transport from London, with good coastal walks.

Recently, we’ve been to Lyme Regis, Sidmouth, Bournemouth, Tenby and Brighton. I know some of these don’t have the best reputation, but we enjoyed them all 😁 We always travel off-season.

Any other places you’d recommend? 🙏

Swanage is lovely and you can walk to Old Harry Rocks

Hastings to Rye via Winchelsea is a beautiful walk.

Swansea. Walking round to mumbles is good but you can also get the bus out onto Gower and do parts of the Gower coastal path.

Hi @Trav3l . Scarborough is easily accessible by train via York and we have absolutely beautiful coastal walks along the Cleveland Way. The area is served well by regular bus services in case you need a break from walking!

Whitby, on the edge of the North York Moors

Thank you so much, everyone! I wasn’t expecting so many brilliant suggestions. Now we just need to find a way to prioritise them all! 😁
