Llandudno, Wales
Grab your straw boater and take a stroll along Llandudno’s pastel-coloured promenade, which has hardly altered since Victorian times. A more quintessentially British seaside resort would be hard to find for your traditional waterfront getaway. The classical wooden pier complete with Punch and Judy, donkey rides on the beach and stripy deckchairs facing the sea. Just watch the seagulls don’t steal your fish and chips!
Isle of Wight, UK
If you fancy spending your holidays by the beach, then look no further than the Isle of Wight for the ultimate waterfront getaway.

With 25 miles of golden sandy beaches, chalky cliffs, rolling marshland and verdant rurality, this cool little rock in the English Channel is a true microcosm of Britishness. Take your summer holidays by the beach and enjoy all the delights of the salty seaside.
