From donkey rides to fish and chips on the prom, our coastal towns each have their own charm. Time to settle the debate once and for all.
Put the items in your preferred order.
Brighton
Pebble beach, quirky Lanes, and a pier that never stops buzzing. Brighton brings bohemian energy with a proper seaside soul.
Whitby
Abbey ruins, cobbled streets, and arguably the best fish and chips in the country. Dracula fans, this is your spiritual home.

St Ives
Turquoise waters, artist galleries, and pasties that taste even better with a sea breeze. It's basically the Mediterranean, but make it British.

Blackpool
Tacky in the best way possible, with the Pleasure Beach, the Illuminations, and enough candy floss to fuel a small army. Pure nostalgic joy.

Southwold
Beach huts in sherbet colours, a lighthouse in the middle of town, and Adnams brewery on tap. Civilised seaside at its finest.
