Which is your favourite seaside resort in the UK? Having just visited for the umpteenth time over the weekend, I have to say Tenby in West Wales, with it's glorious blue flag beaches. It's a beautiful resort whatever the season, and while not overly big, it has everything that is neccesary for an enjoyable stay.

Without a shadow of a doubt it has to be St. Ives in Cornwall - it may get very busy but it is so beautiful with a choice of lots of different beaches.
My second favourite is Whitby in North Yorkshire, completely different to St Ives but full of character and much easier for me to get to!!

Without any doubt, our favourite seaside places, can`t really class them as resorts, are in Scotland. Mainly Muasdale in Kintyre, but the whole of Kintyre is absolutely beautiful, then another favourite is Anstruther in Fife.

Swanage in Dorset is beautiful and not as busy as the more well known resorts in the South East.

I remember going into Swanage a couple of times when we were staying in our caravan at Durdle Door in 1981. We liked it there, but unfortunately have never been back.

St Abbs or Coldingham in the Scottish borders..also Flamborough Head or Thornwick Bay in North Yorkshire. None of them are traditional seaside places..but if I was to pick a traditional seaside resort it would be Scarborough.

You read my mind. Love them both, we're off to Whitby at Easter (also much easier for us). Not sure when we'll get to St Ives this year but will definitely squeeze it in somewhere.

St. Ives may be very pretty, but it`s also very hilly, so as I`m not very agile anymore, we tend not to go there now. We go instead to Mevagissey or St. Mawes when we`re in Cornwall, or the Lizard.

Re: Which is your favourite seaside resort?
May I also add, although not a "holiday resort", the tiny seaside hamlet of Muasdale, on Scotland`s Kintyre peninsula, takes a lot of beating for a quiet, peaceful and scenic holiday. We`re heading there for the 3rd time this summer, can`t wait!

Re: Which is your favourite seaside resort?
another vote here for brighton. growing up and living in south london, its where I used to go as a child, then as an adult on a regular basis.
it used to be a quick 40 minute motorbike ride down there and I love it.
now living near kings lynn in norfolk, its a long ol way and we have to do an overnighter.
I feel the need to go there soon I want to check out chocckywoccydoodah ;)
