Britain’s best and worst seaside towns

Sheringham is nice, it has most of the positive aspects of a seaside town with few of the negatives. Actually maybe that was Cromer....well they’re both nice really.

Wasnt a fan of Hunstanton. Went there once, the fish & chips was mediocre and there were massive fragments of fatberg all over the beach.
 
My nan and grandad lived in Heacham, my childhood holidays were spent there. Not been there in 20 years.

I liked the huge skies, the fens, the emptiness - H'stan was both nice and a bit crap - lots of lovely countryside, I remember doing a lot of cycling there in my teens.
 
genuinely, North Norfolk and East Norfolk coast is gotgeous. Wild, windswept, beautiful

I spent a night on a beach near Cromer once, done acid in the evening and during the night a load of vehicles came down the beach that look like the sort of things that flatten the pistes at ski resorts, clearly UFO related. As the sun came up my girlfriend at the time suggested we head to this dune thing in the middle of the beach for 'a pash', ended up doing her up the Gary and a dog walker came past, he said good morning and we replied in kind, not missing a stroke. Never been back.
 
Yeah, yeah...fact is the North Kent riviera has the best sunsets:

From Tankerton, looking up the Swale.
We were at Reculver and Birchington today, pics of that very same sunset incoming! It was gorgeous. I'm starting to really bond with that area.
Got two swims in too. Sea was warm.
The thing about North Kent coast is the sun sets in the sea... Hard to find places not on the west coast that have that.

(Start reading) Oh, how romantic (gets half way through)... oh hang on....
 
it has to be blackpool...we took on a bed and breakfast here last year -omg I hate every bit of it..we are quite a nice bed and breakfast but the people who come are just awful...clevelley and bispham are ok but it is defo a backward place...I cannot wait to get back to family and friends the biggest mistake of my life
Then I nominate London, as technically it is on the coast, as the Thames is still tidal in London.
best or worst?
 
Do you always get a sea sunset in Worthing?

Good question, I think so.

The guy that used to run the venue at the end of the pier always described it as the most southerly venue on the Worthing Med, to enjoy a drink whilst watching the spectacular sunsets.

The town often takes the crown of the sunniest town in the UK, hence it's known as Sunny Worthing.
 
There’s a difference between how some people think words ought to be used, and how they are actually used. A quick google shows this rather new word is variously defined, and as i said is therefore dependent on context. You have no right to mandate a particular use.

People are morons.

A holiday within your country of residence is still a holiday.

Putting a tent in your back garden, is a staycation.
