I specifically left the Great off Yarmouth
I have fond memories of Hunstanton due to going there regularly as a kid. Disappointed last time I went - nothing had changed since the 70s (and it seemed old and run down then!).
Weston-Shitty-Mere is another I don't like.
Just got back from Bournemouth (my nearest seaside) a fortnight ago. They are doing their best to ruin an already so-so place. Though I have a soft spot from Swanage, though no idea why...
Moving around to Cornwall, Newquay. What an awful place. Everything thats bad about Britsih seaside towns.
Went to Bognor for the first time ever a couple of years back for my birthday (July). It was shut. Couldn't even get fish and chips.
Gonna try Skeggy one day...
Weston Super Mud - a dump, not far from Brean - another dump - but a huge beach
Newquay is OK, some good beaches not far away but is overrun by young drunks in the evenings. For young people and wrinklies
Bournmouth - rode through it once
Weymouth - harbour is interesting town is unexciting, read about people parking cars on the railway through the harbour being moved before being pushed by a train.
Haven't done any south cost from there to Dawlish - a beach not much else but looks OK for a dig in the sand.
Torbay. Gets intersting Torquay getting wild in evenings, Paignton is OK, last visit got dog mess on a childs coat. Goodrington sands and below are fine.
From there to Plymouth a few places but quiet.
Looe is next, nice little town, not sure if I would last more than a day before getting bored.
A few nice seaside towns and villages until St Austell where they are trying to build a huge housing develoment on the beach.
Some lovely beaches and nice villages on the bit which sticks down with St Mawes & Mevagissey on it.
Lizzard peninsular has some good places. Falmouth is the big town but is nice, quite a few quiet sandy beaches good for playing on, basically hunt the internet for good ones, by the time we get to Polperrow we are then into a holiday area until Penzance, long sandy beaches and holiday villages, statics, chalets, camping, and touring parks.
Not much on Lands End - Mousehole stands out, until St Ives, good beaches, nice town, spoilt by Seagulls and cars in the town.
Now it is holiday land, lots of sandy beaches and surfing, small villages with coves ect until the big "Seaside Rescue" beach at Perranporth, then Newquay.
Padstow is a pleasant town
Don't know too much anout the coast until Westward Ho! Except that Bude is golf land, ask me this time next year as we will be doing Bude, Boscastle, Tintagel ect.
Westward Ho! is dumpy, big beach & holiday accomodation.
Woolacombe is a nice town with a huge beach - recomended.
Visit Ilfracombe from there
Barnstable is home to a Butlins prison camp.
Some nice beaches to the east, then not much until me reach Brean again.
I will do some of Wales in a later post.
