10 Worst Seaside Resort Towns in The UK
ฝัง

- What are the worst seaside resorts in the UK? Anyone leaving home to spend some time at a resort is going with high expectations. There are tons of things to do at seaside resorts. However, it’s not all seaside resorts that live up to their designation. Some of them could be better described as anything else but resorts. Some of these pseudo-seaside resorts are there in the UK. We hereby present to you the 10 worst seaside resorts in the UK.
After considering each of them, the choice is yours to patronize them or steer clear of them. These seaside resorts in the UK were rated based on several features that are expected in seaside resorts and they were weighted over 100 points. The following are the scores.
10. Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, England
Burnham-on-Sea is a seaside town located in Somerset, England. You would be fair to this place at the mouth of the Parrett River, upon Bridgwater Bay, if you reckon with it as a fishing village or town, for the sake of respect, that it used to be until the late 1700s when it began to grow.
While the park at Burnham-on-Sea was lovely with clean facilities and lots of activities, the resort could not score more than 48 points. The onsite pizza costs too much; you need a 10-minute walk to get a better deal. Most of the accommodation here is caravans without heating in the bedrooms. The bedding quality of the rooms is begging to be upgraded.
9. Colwyn Bay, Conwy, Wales
Colwyn Bay, a town and community in Conwy County Borough cannot escape our attention. Conwy is on the north coast of Wales where it is overlooking the Irish Sea. The town of Colwyn Bay is recognized as a seaside resort within the historic county of Denbighshire, no doubt. But what is in doubt is the quality of the resort. From what we know Colwyn Bay can’t earn more than 58 points.
Yes, the clean rooms, the security, and proximity to the North Wales Expressway, the railway station, and the beach count for something. However, the services were generally poor. The rooms are freezing without a heater and electrical fittings including plumbing were not being maintained. The food options were zero.
8. Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England
Then next is Great Yarmouth. Joining them in removing the prefix “great,” let’s comfortably join in referring to it by just Yarmouth which is more fitting than Great Yarmouth. In any case, it is recognized as a seaside resort town in Norfolk, there in England. Straddling the River Yare, it is located 30 kilometers east of Norwich.
As a seaside resort, Yarmouth ties with its more neighborly Burnham-on-Sea and Colwyn Bay in Wales to score 58. Though it has sandy beaches and two historic piers, amusement rides, and restaurants, Yarmouth as Norfolk’s flagship beach town is always crammed. Holidaymakers during the summertime suffer disorderliness here as if there are more services than the management could handle in an organized manner.
7. Morecambe, Lancashire, England
Morecambe is a town in the City of Lancaster in Lancashire, England. It’s hard to understand why Morecambe is still being referred to as a seaside resort. Up until the mid-20th century, it was a thriving seaside resort. Then it was home to the country’s largest Pontins resort.

I've visited most of these places and didn't think any of them were too bad. I reckon the list says more about the person who compiled it.
Very true.
Hes just trying to be comical..but hes not
I agree about number 10 and 9 and 3 but thats it...all the rest are great.
@@ianmeyer2652i live at number ten 💀 but yeah its quite bad
@@ianmeyer2652as someone who lives at number 10, I can agree it's quite boring. but you can always take a trip down to weston if you need to.
I visited Devon and Somerset when down from Scotland. From my perspective, Ilfracombe was one of the loveliest places I have ever been. The shops and cafés were tidy and welcoming. The water was amongst the clearest I have seen.
Margate is lovely and I am Australian so I do have high standards when it comes to beach life…
Lowestoft and Margate are lovely. What a load of rubbish from the person making this video
Im not a seaside town sort, but recently I had reason to call at Skegness and found the town very clean and tidy with very friendly local people. Yes its kiss me quick, slot machines and fun fairs but so are most seaside resorts at least there's lots for the kids to do.
C'mon, no list of awful seaside towns is complete without Rhyl...
Oh yeah. It's a complete shit hole.
What a joke, no Rhyl a list not worth watching.
My Mom lives there and although the suburbs where she lives are OK the town centre is a shithole. If the world had piles Rhyl is where they would be.
I've been to Skegness 4 times, and every times I've been, I've really enjoyed it
Skegness is definitely not the worse seaside resort in the UK, Stayed at Butlins last year and found Skegness to be really nice, I'd personally rather visit Skegness over Blackpool. Most seaside resorts in the UK are very similar and they are what you make of them.
I agree Skegness by far not a Rip off resort got a lovely beach too nice pier and Skegness has a lovely vibe for weekend and day out vibe
Give me Skegness over Blackpool any day. Nicer beach and better hotels.
look at bognor regis west sussex
The title should read WORST SEASIDE RESORT TOWNS FOR HOLIDAYMAKERS!
Some of these towns are beautiful places to live and housing prices reflect that when looking at Wsm & Margate especially.
englands like africa tbh compared to other countrys

Sorry to bother you, I'm Trying to be more social and meet new people to share ideas and opportunities with, I'd like to share with you if You don't mind?
Both Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft are nice places, what I've seen of them. The writer's of this article should visit Redcar in North East England. A former seaside town with a lot of social problems.
Redcar isn't even a seaside resort and has cleaned up its act considerably since 2000 so you can DO ONE!!
Had a lovely holiday in Suffolk last year based in Lowestoft. Depends what you want out of a holiday - we don't do the traditional beach holiday but had a good time.
@@missharry5727 agree Lowestoft and the surround e.g. Oulton Broad, is lovely!
Redcar is near to Middlesbrough --that's why its a desperate town!
Great Yarmouth was a fabulous place in the 1960's packed with every kind of amusement when I went again the mid 1970s i could not believe the change the Costa Brave killed all good UK resorts
Dude, north Wales does not have a 'freeway'. This is the UK where we have motorways and/or dual carriage ways. If the UK is so bad, why don't you live in the US where freeways exist? I live in a sea side town whose main property landlord, actively brought in most of the druggies from the North West. Its not the fault of the residents you showcase in your rather poorly edited piece, it's national policy. Not good buddy, not good.
It is known as the Expressway
The A55 is known as the North Wales Expressway
I couldn't disagree more with some of these selections. I've been to most. And trust me, Skegness is a lovely weekend for all the family, with lots to keep everyone happy. And if the sun shines its got one of the best beaches I've ever visited.
Totally agree with you. Learning canteen is/are idiots.
Skeggy's OK. It has a nice beach and it's pleasant enough if the weather's nice.
Sorry Skeggy is a dive,rundown,miserable and needs more money injected into it than even a Saudi Prince would be broke
You have to be laughing if ya think skeg sucks
I agree Skegness by far not a Rip off resort got a lovely beach too nice pier and Skegness has a lovely vibe for weekend and day out vibe
How can you score Gt Yarmouth in this list of poor resorts simply becouse it is crowded. Surely that is condemning it because it is popular. Very harsh in my humble opinion. Yarmouth isn’t perfect, but it has much tradition, not to mention beautiful beaches .
I agree 100%
Great Yarmouth and Blackpool have to be the most hideous, closely followed by Southend on Sea, and Brighton not far behind.
Was in Yarmouth just before Christmas bit is a dump now asked staff int hotel where we could find a shop so we could get a bottle of wine told us to go down the road but what ever you do don't go up any side streets it's not safe next day we went for a walk on the front towards the amusements what a dump all run down and dirty awful place
I've been to Ilfracombe and I liked it there. The worst thing I can say about it is that a bratty seagull dive-bombed my ice cream cone and took off with the top scoop. Had to buy another one.
Ha ha. That happened to me when I was visiting Brighton. I was walking along the pier and a gull swooped down and knocked the ice-cream out of my hand. I think they do this for entertainment!
😅😅😅😅😅
I'm amazed!... Speaking as a Scot, we have so many resorts that are a lot more crappy than these ones and you haven't even mentioned one of them. You must be either prejudiced or ignorant. How can anybody not know just how awful places like Girvan (the spiritual home of the slosh) or Rothesay (claim to fame - the most beautiful public toilet in the world) really are. Indeed, the firth of Clyde is littered with them, just one lousy resort after another where it's raining as often as not. Personally, of course, I love them all, but then, taking pride in our own misery is a Scottish trait.
The only one of these I know fairly well is Worthing, and I think it is a very pleasant town, and the beach front perfectly acceptable.It has some beautiful parks and gardens, good shopping, some entertainment, and beautiful countryside and historic towns and villages surrounding it. No one in England, surely, expects to spend all day lying on a sunny beach-- it is good to have other options. Also, it's pretty close to Brighton if you want a lot more entertainment choices. Worthing is in fact a fairly well-rounded town, residential in most part (a good place for retirees), not a place single-mindedly devoted to beach tourism.
I don't understand why Skegness is on this list it's absolutely fantastic I love it there and in nearby Ingoldmells
stayed at burnham last year,it was great i agree about food in camps very expensive but theres a great high street,loved it
What a load of utter rubbish . I’ve spent time in all the places mentioned in this so called survey both through work and touring holidays ,with the exception of Worthing which I admit is a little underwhelming [although with it’s close proximity to Brighton with its abundance of attractions I fail to see why anyone would choose Worthing for other than a restful break] As for listing Ilfracombe I have stayed there several times and always had good accommodation and enjoyed the character of the town and nearby countryside and attractions This list is obviously made by city dwellers who would visit Iona and complain that they didn’t find a McDonald’s,who else would go to a seaside town and eat pizza,what’s up with the local seafood . By the way we are in Britain,it’s miles not km . I find it a sad that people can put things like this on TH-cam and maybe influence people with their biased opinion’s
Absolutely totally agree, well said
@@alisonmansfield9052 I was brought up in Somerset and visit Burnham often to see friends, both places are nice to live in but terrible holiday places. it's not the sea it's a muddy estuary with next to nothing for children to do other than make mud pies and if there in early September laugh at the sight of middle aged to Oap's promenading pretending to be cowboys and their wives dressed as cowboy wives. Weston is little better, Banksy picked it as the sight for his Dismaland art installation with good reason.
Sorry to bother you, I'm Trying to be more social and meet new people to share ideas and opportunities with, I'd like to share with you if You don't mind?
I think it depends on what people expect out of a seaside resort. Plenty do want "a restful break"! I know Worthing a bit, since my mother lived in Shoreham-by-Sea for years and had close friends in Worthing. This town isn't geared up as a seaside resort primarily, but as a good residential town on the sea, with a lot of the amenities directed toward residents rather than exclusively toward day trippers or people wanting a lively time. Let's face it, if you want to lie on a sunny beach all day, you don't choose the U.K.! If you want 24/7 entertainment, you probably choose London, or Brighton on the southeast coast. Worthing has some beautiful parks and gardens, a good shopping center (pedestrianized), and the sort of beachfront where you go for a brisk walk with the dog rather than just slumping on a towel. It's an excellent center for trips into the beautiful countryside and to see historic cities and villages and other tourist attractions. Maybe not so good if you want to spend most of your time in an amusement arcade.
🙂Heh, before the list even came up I thought 'Burnham-on-Sea'. My own worst seaside resorts list would also include Cleethorpes, Mablethorpe, Redcar, Leysdown, Severn Beach (oh dear!), Westward Ho!, Porthcawl, Morecambe and Southport (although the town itself is nice enough if you avoid the 'beach') Funnily enough, I quite like some of the places on your list. Margate, Great Yarmouth and Ilfracombe for instance.
Not forgetting Skegness by far not a Rip off resort got a lovely beach too nice pier and Skegness has a lovely vibe for weekend and day out vibe
Most on this list I’ve been and I don’t have a problem with any of them as for Burnham on Sea it can’t be that bad as it is always busy during the summer period plus it’s my home town
Burnham on Sea is nice, this channel is garbage 🤣
Hi Ian.Lucky old u.I would come back tomorrow if I could.Miss the Carnival(Ramblers!)the ocean,the night life,everything.But friends all moved away or lost touch with,family mostly passed.There is a coach trip to WSM in the summer which I may go on.Though there won't b time to see the Knoll or BOS I suppose.I regret my stupid decision to move away,every day of my life.Ah well,u live n learn.
Worthing is not that bad at all. It has a beautiful quiet pier, a fine beach that stretches for miles and it is multicultural, all the time coming up with new artistic innovations. The only downside is the interior as the town has lost a lot of fine buildings and there is some ugly buildings facing the sea, and it has lost several shops that should not have been lost. The beach is accessible from the pavement, a treasure of a cinema called The Dome which is worth a visit in itself and it is kept up to perfection.
This is supposed to be in England. So why are you talking about Kilometres when 99% of people in England use Miles when it comes to travelling distance.
I totally agree.
Hear hear!
Bloody cheek 🏴
What's that got to do with the video?
For tourist?
That’s like using Fahrenheit instead of celsius like any other country.
Worthing and Margate are most certainly not "resorts", they are seaside towns. And Margate Broadstairs and Ramsgate have fantastic beaches. I recokno the bloke who put this piece togather has never been to either. Margate has bsiros and restaurants where 15 years ago there were just greasy spoons. Old Margate is super as well. Just to add, Margate has the highest rise of property in the last year than anywhere else
You are wrong about Morecambe. Yes there is a shortage of hotels . The Midland Hotel is stunning. The council spent a fortune on a new promenade and its a beautiful walk to Hesham and see the 1000 year old church. There is free car parking on the street. Morecame is so much better than say Blackpool
What UTTER RUBBISH !! I can't imagine that anyone actually involved with this has actually been to any of these resorts and to put Skeggy as the worst is clueless . If you go there it's packed al the way through summer . it's not trying to be exotic or smart . It's catering for families and they love it in their droves and mostly can't wait to come back
What Ilfracombe 3rd what tosh it's a very pretty seaside town .you can find some nice places to stay . Clearly people haven't done there research in accommodation.
Not sure why Colwyn Bay is in this list? It isn’t a holiday resort, and does not place itself as a holiday resort. As it is not a holiday resort it does not have any of these things, attractions, fairs, carparks, arcades, cafes. The main reason is the coast is entirely separate from the town by the motorway and the railway line. Even the old pier was knocked down by the council. The council has also just knocked down the last 2 remaining prom cafes.
Thought they used Miles in the UK , NOT Kilometers.
We do!
The U.K.switched to metric system weights and measures (and decimal coinage) decades ago. It's basically the U.S. that is the holdout with miles, pounds, gallons, etc.
We use miles in u.k. and I'm fed up with various t.v. media channels using kilometres. Why ???
lolll I really enjoyed Skegness last August . Didn't stay in Town but visited three times on different days to do different things . Shame Ninja Mitton Internet Cafe shut down though :(
What a load of rubbish, you can't judge a resort on the availability of pizza's or dirty bed sheets. This was presumably compiled by someone that doesn't live in the UK, why else would you give distances in kilometres?
Im Suprised Blackpool wasnt on there
Blackpool is chav city.
@@markstarmer3677 Crack heads and Chav destination ....2nd Jaywick
Blackpool is a resort, the last.
The vermin drug gangs that's attracting people to take over and party not your day tourists or locals has dragged ITS REPUTATION down then there go home leaving once the most popular seaside town in the UK now the new Jaywick with a tower .Rebellion festival good but even punks and skins get better press lol
Why what's wrong with Blackpool
Strange you picked Worthing, it has just been voted best seaside town in the UK.
Great Yarmouth is what it is, a thriving seaside town which is comfortable within itself. Its great to visit. Lowestoft has one of the best beaches in England, beautiful graded sand across the Claremont Pier; ok the town centre is crap but Lowestoft is basically a nice enough place.
So far kew
Great Yarmouth is a funny old one, clearly a lot of poverty and ill health. But go 3 miles up the coast it is wild and beautiful with big sandy beaches and sand dunes with sea loins in the winter
One of the most ridiculous videos I have ever endured. In 0.28 - 0.31 he speaks about these resorts being "there" in the UK. - which obviously suggests he isn't even in the UK. He is just basing these comments on the odd negative reviews that he could find that fit what he is trying to achieve - not actual experience. - e.g. the Colwyn Bay review that electric and plumbing weren't being maintained and the fact that no food was available - WHAT! - in the whole of Colwyn Bay there was no food????? Sounds like a one off review from someone who stayed in a small pub that didn't do meals. The Great Yarmouth one was ridiculous as well - "the overcrowding meant that there were more services than the management could handle" - which management - a single place, a couple of places or the whole of Yarmouth". Sounds like another individual review to me. Great Yarmouth is well known for getting busy - I would think that the people who run Great Yarmouth would be well aware of this and make plans for such an influx even if occasionally it struggles to cope- it's hardly a reason to criticise a place. I could go on and on picking holes in this but what would be the point. Why do people spend their time trying to make things harder for these places that are struggling to come out of the Covid pandemic - why not show them some support rather than sticking the knife in with what are clearly distorted facts.
Skegness and Great Yarmouth are great places to visit. Lots of things to do and not too expensive xx
A good guide to UK awful seaside towns: Paul Theroux's " The Kingdom by the Sea"
I love lfracombe. Hadloads of lovely holidays there, beautiful clean sea, great little pubs and beautiful rocky shoreline and great boat trips.
Ridiculous list. Who came up with this? What's wrong with miles, which is the official unit of measurement in the UK? Is this aimed at Millennials?
Sorry to bother you, I'm Trying to be more social and meet new people to share ideas and opportunities with, I'd like to share with you if You don't mind?
Totally agree 👍
Worthing. For the over 60s in wheel chairs.....Jaywick has made great strides, since it had an unwarranted poor. Review. The people there are so kind and gracious. Now known as the Jewel in the Essex Crown....Give it a try!
Glad too see Torquay is not in this list;)
Unless something drastic happened in the last 10 years Great Yarmouth, Morecambe, Skegness and Lowestoft are all great places to stay. While I can't speak for the other places mentioned here, if you're happy to trust daft videos like this you deserve everything you get, go and see them for yourself.
Skegness is a great seaside town with lots do. If this is the worst you must be off your head.
No way is great Yarmouth one of the worst seaside towns. Surely if it's busy that makes it popular. I totally don't agree with your poll . Rubbish
I'd agree with a couple the places being a bit of a dump but certainly not all. Yarmouth & Skeg are brill for families
What a title! I have been to several large seaside towns where I would not bother to park the car and get out but none of them is featured here.
Your so wrong on Margate, yes it’s had some challenges, but definitely on the way up. Dreamland is a lovely retro amusement park that has a wonderful stage with various top artists performing this year. The old town is a delight with a great hipster atmosphere. To be totally fair the original shopping high street isn’t so good. Sam Mendes used Margate for his latest film production with Olivia Coleman and Colin Firth, see how Margate has scrubbed up when it’s released in November. It’s called Empire of Light set in the 1980’s so ignore the skinheads and scooter boys running riot.
Dreamland was wrecked decades ago -just a junk market -

Been to skegness numerous times excellent beach and people are very friendly. Stayed at butlins
Not sure how you reckon that some of these seaside places are the worst. I live in BOS, Somerset, and although not the most attractive town, it is friendly place,
and a lovely sandy beach towards Berrow & Brean to walk on.
Yeah, Burnham on Sea is nice, this channel is garbage!
Colwyn Bay is not that bad and Rhos on Sea its neighbour is nice.
C bay is full of drop outs. Rhos was posh but is still nice.

Colwyn Bay is not in England.
@@jacevans5549 Who said it was?
Well that’s clinched it for me I must visit Skegness soon.😎
Although many years have passed, I have visited all of these places and never had any problems. Our favourite was Skegness
Probably off to skeg this spring, wish i could visit all the other towns.😊
I’ve just visited Worthing, it’s pier is beautiful, but it’s town centre is disgusting, run down , dirty, and dilapidated, a far cry from how it used to be ten years ago, a very sad sorry site to see. Even during mid morning on a week day , people sleeping and tents pitched in South Street. Sad .
This narrator really is a pompous pratt
Ilfracombe is not that bad. Where I stayed was a joke but the town was pretty decent. Was like going back in time to the 70s though as there very few national chains and the town seemed to close in the early evening.
How crap can you get. I bet that you have never been to these places and that you are reading reports from other people.
Don't criticise places that you have no experience of.
I disagree Skegness by far not a Rip off resort got a lovely beach too
It has nice pier and Skegness has a lovely vibe for weekend and day out vibe parking extremely reasonable too !!!
Ilfracombe and Burnham-On Sea along with Weston-Super-Mare are certainly places I have been and not enjoyed.The best part of all of them was coming back home.
I think Eastbourne deserves to be on the list and high up. Too few facilities, the streets are dirty, most of the biggest retailers are gone, there are too many tourists [too many make it hellish if you have to live in a place], there are areas which no-one would want to go, unless they wanted drugs and the "new" shopping centre treats you to wind and flooding dependent on the weather.
I thought that Rhyl would have been on this list
Sorry to bother you, I'm Trying to be more social and meet new people to share ideas and opportunities with, I'd like to share with you if You don't mind?
Visited Ilfracombe in the
1970s Also in 2022 & 2023
For 1 Week Holidays...
Although it has Changed
There is Still A Nice Seaside
Atmosphere About the Town
People Friendly Enough...
Some Rejuvenation is Required
To Fine Tune the Seafront
Will Certainly Visit Again Very Soon....
Miles not Kilometres
Should there ever be a survey of the top ten most irritating voices of narration this would surely sit near the top. Gave up two minutes into Burnham on Sea.
What about Cleethorpes that really is the last resort and a town that time forgot.
Not even on the seaside it’s just a muddy river bank with a small stretch of sand mostly covered by sea grass.
As for entertainment it’s like a ghost town apart from arcades and donkey rides.
I would definately have said that Margate and Ramsgate share the number one spot for the worst sea side towns in England' the people are unfriendly the crime is rife and drugs are easy to come by. Its also a horrible place to raise a family' when i lived in Ramsgate it was riddled with violence and crime. Both towns are an absolute shit hole.
You got the order of things all over the place. Burnham on Sea 48, Colwyn Bay 58 then it starts going down ending up at 48 for Skegness.
The explanations make no sense…’the bedding…?’ - did they test the bedding in every place in every resort? -
Sorry to bother you, I'm Trying to be more social and meet new people to share ideas and opportunities with, I'd like to share with you if You don't mind?
You are absolutely right about Margate, its a right shit hole, infact i would say it should be the top one for not only the worst seaside town but also the worst place to live. I found the people there to be unfriendly' arrogant' self-entitled and unhelpful along with Ramsgate and Broadstairs..
His video is made by somebody who is not from the UK,and has very little understanding of seaside towns and the people who work and live in them. The video shows a lack of understanding of the holidaymakers needs.
Nice, very funny 🤣
I stayed in Margate many years ago and was not impressed even then. I had relatives in Worthing who seemed quite happy there - but then that's different from a day out on the beach.
How dare they put Skegness at number 1? I have stayed there on many occasions and have enjoyed myself. I would put Cleethorpes in at number 1 because you can do everything in about 2 hours. There's a lot to see and do at Skeg.
One of the best stretches of beach in England is from Saltburn through to Marske by the Sea and on to Redcar.
I thought Paignton might have made it onto the list. It is reportedly on the up though can’t verify this.
I just love Weston super mare how can you give bad publicity to these seaside resorts, everyone has a favourite resort. Times are hard after the Covid and all resorts need out support.
Weston is a site better than Blackpool. The ugliest people in the Uk all go to Blackpool and Morecambe. It's a horror show!!
We went there a couple of weeks ago and it is grim.
What I think is, who ever did this pole was sitting behind a desk looking on Trip Advisor and nit picking out all those moaners who like to complain at everything.
hy are you using kilometres?
So having to walk 10min in to get a cheaper pizza is used as a factor - omg turned off after that crap
We have had lovely holidays in Great Yarmouth.
Weston used to be really nice when I was a kid, but nowadays I find it a bit grotty and rundown. Either way though, I still visit it every so often with my parents lol
Great Yarmouth is the best never mind the rest. ,10 out 10 for the best place to go on holiday. I love Yarmouth
Hastings destroys the lot of these with ease. I've been to all but two of them, Morecambe.& Skegness, and cannot believe they could be any worse than what was overwhelmingly the filthiest town I have ever been to, in summer 2022.
4:30 Ahhhhhh!!!! Lowestoft? That is my favourite seaside town I’ve been there many times. I even know the owners of a B&B they who I met when I stayed there.
Morecambe is not "a town in the city of Lancaster", as the commentator claims. It is a town in the county of Lancashire.
No lets call Great Yarmouth by its full name so its not confused with Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight. Also Skegness is at least clean and free from graffiti and is quite pleasant in a "Kiss me quick" sort of way . Its so obvious you have never been to any of these places and are just reading reviews you have found on line . Rhyl and Blackpool ?
Sorry to bother you, I'm Trying to be more social and meet new people to share ideas and opportunities with, I'd like to share with you if You don't mind?
Never thought much of seaside after age 12, got passport at 18 then wow, so this is what a German bierkellar is, this is what a French city looks like, this is how you sit with the locals in a tiny Spanish village communicating with arms waving and laughter , happy days. Now stuck forever on my beloved Gran Canaria.
Sorry to bother you, I'm Trying to be more social and meet new people to share ideas and opportunities with, I'd like to share with you if You don't mind?
The people that make these TH-cam videos have probably never been to any of the places mentioned.
I have to strongly disagree with Ilfracombe. I’ve been there and thought it was really nice there. Bit surprised Southend wasn’t mentioned.
Yarmouth has its problems but its loved by kids and families
Most towns seaside or not, are in their death throws, with boarded up shops, Supermarkets and Amazon taking all their business, the huge increase in population over the past 15 years or so, has caused low wages and high rents, the young have empty pockets, ground down by zero hours jobs, most from broken families, who've never really experienced the joy of a family holiday, like all mighty empires, ours is on its way out, caused by incompetent leaders, and greedy conglomerates.
..what are your thoughts on Sheerness??!
Lol
Just had three days in Lowestoft. It's not as bad as Weston. Weston is pretty shit behind the first row of shops. Ilfracombe is quite nice
Aww I went to Westin super mare on holidays when I was young. Spoilt now as I emigrated to Australia 25 years ago 🦘🦘🦘🦘
Had loads of great holidays in great yarmouth but go 2 streets back from the tourist areas and its in a poor state and quite frankly very scary. You know its bad when ross kemps extreme world has a whole episode devoted to GY.
The old south denes sea front caravan park is long gone and now a waste land and the once pristine beach ugly grassy litter strewn dunes.
Skegness. It's not brilliant but I think Jaywick in Essex is the worst. I'd give it nil
Sorry to bother you, I'm Trying to be more social and meet new people to share ideas and opportunities with, I'd like to share with you if You don't mind?
To be honest Margate is very nice I’ve been and it was absolutely fine
I have visited both Colwyn Bay and Morecambe. Not being a beach-lover I can't really comment on them. I only use beach resorts as a base for travelling around the dostrict. Also, why are your distances in stupid metric instead of miles??
I came to Morecambe a few times when I were a lad with my mum and dad. It was a great place then, with piers etc plenty of places to go and no shortage of things to do with frontier land, loads of shops/markets and plenty of pubs/clubs with entertainment not to mention on the pier/ winter gardens etc and illuminations. At the time it could rival Blackpool for everything. Sadly it has lost its way over the years and seemed to go downhill from the loss of the pier. They are trying hard to re-invent Morecambe but it's very unlikely to ever reach the heights of old days. I live in Heysham near Morecambe and we go into Morecambe quite a lot with it being only 2 miles away and although it's not as good as it was it is a very pleasant place to live, only downside is all the motorhomes taking over the promenade through the week and even worse at weekend, it's free parking you see , I believe the council are making changes to this, can't come soon enough! All in all though not a bad place to live.😁😁
I've been to quite a few of these resorts over the years.
I strongly suspect you haven't.
I don't live on the coast but we all look for different things when visiting the coast. I try to avoid amusement parks. But when the kids were small it was a must. Maybe people should investigate a little before travelling. Weston super mare is OK. I go there for classic car shows and air displays. There is nearly always something happening. The clay outcrop on the one part of the beach is natural and easy to avoid. The worms on the beach???? Some people are a little thick.
Your talking rubbish! Ilfracombe is a lovely little place, has some great restaurants and pubs. The harbour beach might be small and smelly but it’s a great place to visit.
Must say I was surprised to see Ilfracombe in the list, always enjoyed a visit.
