Best And Worst UK Seaside Destinations Revealed – The Winner May Surprise You

The Worst Of The Bunch

Former seaside greats which, back in their heyday, would’ve been the go-to spots for British sun-seekers and holidaymakers seemed to have dropped.

Morecambe, in Lancashire, received just two out of five stars for its beach, and one out of five for attractions. And Weston-Super-Mare, Great Yarmouth, and Skegness all received just one star out of five for peace and value. 

And Margate, in recent years hailed as a “hipster hangout”, was also among the bottom 10, receiving just one star for scenery, peace, and value. 

Sadly, Clacton in Essex received some particularly critical reviews – and at £116 for an average hotel room, it was also rated as poor value for money.

Although it’s the sunniest town in Britain, Bognor Regis (47% overall) received low marks for its scenery, value for money and attractions on offer.

Some said the town, which had an average hotel room price of £96, was “tacky” – but others were more positive, praising the seafront promenade as “quintessentially English”.
