From Wales' aquamarine waters to the rolling sand dunes of Sussex, there is little else as beautiful as the UK's 31,368km coastline. Save for, perhaps, the quaint, jewel box towns which dot it.
There is nothing quite like a holiday spent at the seaside–especially in the United Kingdom. Every year, all across the country, warm sun, gently churning water, creaky docks and speckled, golden sand greet holidayers seeking to trade in their jeans and dress shoes for linen shirts and swimming costumes. So wonderful it is that almost no matter where you are on the British Isles, you are never too far from patches of beautiful coastline and the lovely towns nestled behind it. Whether you crave the remoteness of Wales' Llyn Peninsula or the hipster hustle and bustle of Margate in Kent, there is a seaside town awaiting your arrival. We've rounded up the prettiest among them, so suit up and dive in!
