A Shore Thing: 12 UK Seaside Holiday Spots
July 2025

“Oh I do like to be beside the seaside, oh I do like to be beside the sea…” Yes, oh yes, we’re getting giddy at the thought of escaping the city or perhaps you’re already tucked away in the landlocked countryside and yearning for a glimpse of that shimmering blue that surrounds us.
Well, worry not. We’re here to tempt you with a few delightful spots to dip your trotters in. Seaside suntraps that’ll make you feel as though you’re on the Mediterranean only with fish and chips. So.. the perfect escape. Charlotte Becque has done the legwork—trudged the beaches, scouted the streets, sniffed out the decent places to sleep and the better places to eat. Twelve or so coastal spots, each offering a little something beyond the usual soggy chips and damp towels.
