- What are the best seaside towns in the United Kingdom? New towns are developing at the seaside across the UK in addition to those ancient towns and cities. All of these towns and cities are worming their way into the hearts of tourists from home and abroad. With due respect to these towns, and out of a deep sense of duty, we want to identify which of these towns are the best so that we can help the decision-making process for those having reasons to consider seaside towns. On the basis of that, we present to you the 10 best seaside towns in the UK.
Please note that most of these best towns in the UK have at one time or the other been the best in England.
10. Swanage, Dorset, England
The tenth place we’ll consider as one the best seaside towns in the UK is Swanage in South West of England. The town has been a popular seaside resort since Victorian times. Up till now, families have continued to enjoy its calm shallow beach. This seaside is also one of the 10 best seaside resorts in the UK.
With its panoramic views, the seaside resort offers relaxing luxurious holidays in self-catering accommodation in caravans and luxury hot tub lodges. If you want to own a holiday home, they’re available here with unrivaled views across the bay. The town is about one kilometer from the leisurely beautiful Swanage Railway. Its proximity to this and other parks, beaches, and castles makes it a good choice.
9. St Davids, Pembrokeshire, Wales
Stepping out of England, we find a small city and community in Pembrokeshire known as St Davids. It is the smallest location in the whole of the United Kingdom with city status. With its stunning coastal scenery unmatched in Pembrokeshire, it’s also the smallest urban area by local authority boundary.
One of the reasons for its inclusion on this list is its ability to blend its sacred status with its National Park. St Davids has a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere as you see surf shops, outdoor adventure centers, holiday cottages, and hotels in the shadow of its cathedral.
8. Southwold, England
When this town was found in the ninth position on the list of the most popular seaside destinations, we knew that it would be among the 10 best seaside towns in the UK. Now, it is the number 8 on this list. All year round, Southwold remains a tourist attraction, thanks to its dramatic coastline and beautiful architecture. Its cozy pub lunches and walks along its beach are charming.
As you walk along its pier, you will see spectacular views as you check in and out of many independent shops. You would love the charming seaside resort of Southwold. Though it’s almost an island, its sandy beach and hut-lined promenade offer a wonderful environment for holidaymakers and weekenders.
7. Filey, North Yorkshire, England
Ironically to some, Filey which is a town in the Borough of Scarborough considered unpopular by some people is one of the 10 best seaside towns in the UK. Truly, this beautiful seaside destination in North Yorkshire deserves a slot here as one of the most popular in the UK. It used to be a fishing village before developing into a popular resort with a very large beach that is playing a remarkable role in popularizing it.
It is quieter than most of its neighbors and most of the other coastal towns. This is because it has enough accommodations, seats, and transportation. There is no need for any rush here. You can just go there and enjoy your peace.

Tynemouth was lovely. We stayed in Durham in June and had a day at Tynemouth and Cullercoats. Very impressed.
I live very close to Southwold. Lovely pubs, and fish caught by the chippies own boat.
As an International mature student who once live in Lewes East Sussex my best coastal town is Littlehampton (like the fish n chips and Body Shop factory/products) and Eastbourne because of the miniature train rides and the walk along the coast to the seven sisters cliffs. Cheers
It is an interesting definition of "seaside town" that includes Rye and St David's - both of which are actually two or three miles from the sea, with actual countryside between the towns and sea; and neither of which has a seafront, promenade or beach within its urban area! Also, beautiful though North Berwick is, the good mix of shops that once existed within its town centre now only really caters for the wealthy classes. I guess this is what happens when people make films about places they've never actually been to...!
Bamburgh beach and Seahouses is lovely. Usually quite low on Neds as well.
Rye as Whitby are both harbours not seaside.
Whitesands beach st David's is nice but little way out of town .
Who the hell compiled this list? Probably the best location for people taking 'seaside' holidays in the UK at the moment is Cornwall. None of the Cornish resorts get a mention in the top 10, which is ludicrous. Dartmouth doesn't have a beach and is on a river estuary FFS.
Facts Dartmouth isn’t even the best place in Devon. Cornwall has about 10 better towns
Cornwall is full of Neds in summer, not good
Devon and Cornwall are probably the best sidmouth is a nice rocky seaside I went yesterday it’s lovley
No Tenby, Newquay and St Ives Cornwall
The seagulls are thugs in st Ives
i like CORNWALL especially St. Ives, this is load of ball.
Football , tennis ball or cannon ball ?
Whitby and north Berwick also lovely
Whitby and Scarborough.
Excellent
Blackpool great place to go
Good old Filey by the sea so proud it made your list .
My mum lives there.
Very surprised that Scarborough in North Yorkshire isn't included.
It has almost everything except a swimming pool or theatre.Two very different bays both with wide golden sandy beaches.
The South Bay built with children in mind, lots of amusement arcades candy floss shops and a working harbour with plenty of pleasure boats or sea fishing boats that will take you out several miles to access deep water species.
The North Bay is more sedate aimed at relaxed folk, no amusements at all but several good restaurants overlooking the sea.
In between is a magnificent headland that has a ruined castle overlooking both bays.
The castle was destroyed during WWI by a German cruiser which was trying to destroy the harbour, obviously not a very good gunnery team.
The South Bay is overlooked by the huge Royal Hotel, designed and paid for by the actor Charles Laughton who was born locally.
365 rooms many with sea views, four Turrets which are also rooms.
Personally we would never stay there as it isn't adequately heated out of season when we like to visit.
There is ample parking and quiet cheap along the headland, over 1.000 spaces.
I could go on but it's beginning to become a book.
It’s got a fabulous theatre ! A beautiful Art Deco building
Yep, the famous Theatre-in-the-Round S.J.T....Stephen Joseph Theatre@@susanyork5089
@@regviewer seen some great plays there
Open Air Theatre?? Peasholm Park/Glen. The miniature railway. Sealife Centre at Scalby. The Alpamare water park. As for the interior.... well ... just look it up. Forge Valley, Hackness, the North York Moors etc etc.
Wife an' I visited Southwold many moons ago and loved every minute.
Great, thank you! Good ideas.
Love Dartmouth and Southwold
I love North Berwick x
Whitby? Robin hoods bay?
Whitby defiantly .I live along the coast in Hartlepool and ive met people from all over the UK who travel to Whitby been so popular it population trebles in the holiday season and to get there the most pleasant train journey through the Esk Valley and is also the setting for Bram Stokers Dracula.
Anyone going to Rye for a seaside break is going to be disappointed.
I used to have a caravan at Camber Sands 3 miles from Rye which only has a harbour and small town
How wonderful Britain, coast...
Glad to see so many people commenting on Cornish resorts. Thereagain, that is the county I grew up in so I am rather biased (as Cliff Rightmove would say.
Enjoyed that 👍
Tenby is beautiful
Saundersfoot in wales is very nice
What about Lynmouth and Lynton in North Devon. Also Weymouth in Dorset.
Beautiful coastline around 😍
Thumbs up for Weymouth!!
Most of these look quite small, a bit boring for the lone holidaymaker. For instance I had a day trip to Filey (from Scarborough) four years ago, saw it all in half an hour. My favourites: 1 Torquay, for scenery and excellent choice of beaches 2 Ramsgate, as a base for day tripping 3 Scarborough 4 Brighton, culturally I don't feel at home but lots of good pubs and restaurants.
Filey is perfect , unspoilt and bang in the middle of a glorious bay
Broadstairs in Kent should be on here with its lovely town, harbour and 7 magnificent bays.
Iam lucky enough to live not far from tynemouth
What criteria did you use to come to this list ....have you been to Salcombe Poole, Tenby ,St Ives for example
I'm actually surprised that Isle of Wight wasn't in the top three best seaside towns in England..
I prefer Southwold!! Haven't been there since 1989.
The only problem with ANY location in the UK is the unpredictability of the weather...🤣🤣
And now illegal immigrants.
Rye is a charming old town with a unique atmosphere. But a seaside resort? It has no beaches and even in the 1950s and 1960s, I never saw anyone in Rye with a bucket and spade. Its' proximity to the sea is similar to that of Arundel and Chichester.
Bournemouth has a long beach and Weymouth too.
Bournemouth is shit
I went to Bournemouth a few weeks ago.. Lovely beach nice area not a run down dump.
There are also plenty of nice resorts along the Scottish coast around the Clyde estuary which is the most scenic area ever.
Just what parameters did you use in your definition of "best SEASIDE" town? Many do not have a sea beach and therefore do not qualify. I can also criticise your omission of some of the many resorts in Cornwall, especially Newquay, which has many specialised beaches to suit all tastes, from the family beach at Porth to the Town Beach adjacent to the active harbour to the surfers' beach at Fistral. It is my opinion that this list has been compiled from tourist brochures without even a cursory visit. A worthless review.
Totally agree with you.
This review is the best Seaside resort in the uk? Based on what exactly??? Lol
You're trying to have a conversation with chat gpt bud 😂
@@ianmeyer2652based on chat gpt. Did you think a human is involved in this loop?
Don't agree everyone has different aspects, I have been around the Country, Newquay is a great holiday destination, I like Cornwall, Devon Dorset, all have great places to enjoy, like Norfolk too, every one is different
Newquay and St Ives are so much better than any of the other places in this list. Dartmouth isn’t even the nicest place in Devon let alone the UK
Cromer and Sheringham are beautiful in Norfolk
anywhere on the ISLE OF WIGHT ( the sunshine island )
Ramsgate and Dover in Kent is the best by me.
And now you can enjoy all that sewage being pumped into your coastline.🙂🇪🇸🇪🇺
Does it also have the best sewage?
What about Lyme Regis?
It will be included in next months edition.
What about lovely, classy Eastbourne?
Hmm what about Leicester , Bolton and Stow on the Wold ?
Stow on the wold is not a seaside 😅
This is the best list of costal cities if you're 75 and willing to retire in a quiet seaside place to die.
Allonby and Silloth in Cumbria
🤣🤣🤣
St ives, Cornwall number 1by a mile
I like Dartmouth but not really a beach resort, been told by locals that out of season it can be quite rough at night, now, if you say St Ives, well, that’s a resort but not Dartmouth as number 1. Who makes this statistics .
Llandudno has to be in that top 10.
Forget the east coast unless you want persistent cold wind off the north sea for 9 months of the year ...Swanage wins for me
Tynemouth is in Tyne and Wear but was historically in Northumberland.
Lytham St Annes?
I could look through TripAdvisor myself and come up with a list if I could be bothered 🤣🤔🥴
I could not get why Brighton did not get a place in your list of one among 10 best seaside towns in the UK
East Sussex ?
What about Weston Supermare.It's the best.
Learning Canteen made a list of the 10 worst seaside resorts and Weston was on it.
What about mumbles, or Tenby?
Aldeburgh?
Tynemouth is not in Northumberland. Although I wish it were.
Whitby, Weymouth, Ventnor and many others would all be better than any on this list..
Whitby is too busy.
@@ianhirst1148 I've been & stayed in whitby many times. It's brilliant. It can be busy but that's cus its good.
Ventnor is terrible, the second I got there I left, it has absolutely no life in it, all the shops were shut and most looked like they'd not been open in a while. I've given up on seaside holidays in the UK, they are either crap or really expensive, or both. I went to shanklin in the summer gone only to be bitterly disappointed by it, and the cottage (which was dark cramped and musty) was not cheap. My aunt's boyfriend (in France) owns a house he rents out in the summer and it costs the same amount despite it being much bigger, and being really nice
Been to all your list. Loved them all
Looe in Cornwall. Lovely place.
Seriously now, how is St Ives not on this list??
What! No Cornwall!?
It remains to say it doesn’t matter how good the Beach is.
If you can’t go into the water because of sewerage in it it means it’s crap.
Dartmouth! No way
Ridiculous that there are no Cornish towns.
I thought Dartmouth was kind of “meh”. It was OK but nothing special. Enjoyed the train ride though.
Sherpas Devon 😇😎🐕♥️💛💖🇬🇧
Fuming blackpool should be here
"New towns are developing at the seaside"??? These places have all been at the seaside - or near it - for a long time!
This list is wrong. All 10 are in Devon and Cornwall.
I agree number 1 for me has 2 be looe Plymouth is also on my list watching the navy ships come into Davenport is a must
Honestly they’re all pretty average, there’s at least 10 Cornish seaside towns better than this. St Ives, Newquay, Falmouth, Fowey, Hayle and Looe are literally all better than Dartmouth. Also Rye is dead.
So bias it’s untrue ,need to go to specsavers 😉
Go to Looe in the winter it’s dead,all the beautiful cottages are owned by big organisation as summer lets ,outrageous,and half of Cornwall is second homes ,a total disgrace 🥵
You need some new glasses
@@cliffrightmove1527 yeah but that’s a similar story with Dartmouth except the Cornish ones are naturally more beautiful.
@@cliffrightmove1527 if it’s untrue why are the ones I’ve mentioned more popular? St Ives and Newquay attract more visitors than any other one in the list? Plus naturally far nicer, very low crime rates and the home of water sports? The only downside are second home owners but every decent place has them in England now
Paignton should be no 1
Rye is a lovely town but it's a long walk to the sea. A seaside resort it isn't.
Enjoyed watching this list but its ridiculous to be honest , Torquay blows every one of these towns outta the water as does Lyme Regis and West Bay.
Michael B you are very obvious Cornish,no bad thing,But I am afraid you are so bias,this report on seaside location is absolutely excellent although I don’t agree with all his choices he is pretty spot on with his assessment of the locations ,Cornwall has been spoiled something chronic by the kiss me quick cockneys,I used to love Cornwall as I lived on the border for 70 years,it has been ruined,the council’s should ashamed of themselves such a great county and the Cornish people the salt of the earth,be realistic it’s a shadow of its old self 🥵🥵🥵
Same as everywhere when the rich start buying summer homes then rob the communities of their local bias and turn places into winter ghost towns. Second homes everywhere should be banned.😡😡😡🤔😬
@@royfearn4345 hi Roy ,could not agree with you more Looe is a ghost town in the winter months,bloody shame it’s lovely 🥵
There's a reason Cornwall and Devon are very expensive to go on holiday in, everywhere by the sea in Britain is either rubbish, too far north (nothing against the north or Scotland, but it's too cold there for the beach) or really expensive
Really? Think you need to visit a few more then make a new video! :)
Tynemouth (No 2) is pronounced the way it is spelt - not Tynemuff!!
"out of a deep sense of duty" you mfrs gotta be Chinese AI via Google translate 😂😂😂
Best coasts are the ones no one knows about
21st Century Coast Guards.
Best seaside town in the UK.......EASY....... Without doubt it is...... Puerto del Carmen in Lanzo 😎😎😎
Magaluf...
Bridlington
😱😱😱
C'mon mate were the hell is Skegness.
What a weird top ten choice
So....i imagine time share vacations are popular there. They eere here gor about 10 years until people really realized it was a money drain costong thousands that leave you owning nothing.
The learning canteen is as strange a title as the inane commentary. I watch it as part of my comedy line up and have great laughs at the fact that it’s conclusions are based on nothing at all. In fact as a resident of one of the included towns I feel strangely insulted by its inclusion. One way of making money from your armchair with the minimum of effort I suppose.
What about Blackpool …… you’ve got beer birds and chips you even got a cracking beach and not one but three piers . What more could a man ask for
You can buy any drug you can think of.
Absolute DUMP Avoid!
Not sure this guy has ever been to England 😂😂
He lives in Europe somewhere ?
The worst Clacton on sea to go with these people .
Skegness was rated as the worst. Having been there & lived near Clacton, I find Clacton the better of the 2.
Lol some of these were on the list of worst in the UK.
I'm surprised St Ives isn't on this list .
Dartmouth????🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a load of old rubbish.
Smugglers.
what about
Tenby
Saumdersfoot
Rhyl
Porthcawl
Barry island
Newquay
Serrrradinion hahahahahhaa
all Boaring Blackpool number 1" got everything roller coasters go karts zoo shows comedy nights Bingo Aquarium Water park Tower ballroom 3 piers with kids rides and family bars nightclubs casino's ice skating the other seaside town's have diddly squat, not everybody is over 70 sunshine
Swanage is unbeatable
Blackpool is a DUMP it's a downmarket Weston Super Mare.
DUMP! Full of boozed-up foul-mouthed chavs. Avoid.
The best ten seaside towns are ALL in Cornwall... what nonsense this is !
What a load of crap!! Not a single beach in Cornwall!! There are better ones there than half the ones listed here!!
Trebarwith for example
HAHAHAHA ..... not a SINGLE Cornish beach ....... Behave yourself.
