Filey (East Coast, Yorkshire). It's a lovely Edwardian resort, still unspoilt.

I'd go with Gwynne's choices and add Pendine Sands (Carmarthenshire) and Bosherston cove (Pembrokeshire), both on the South Wales coast.

For resort towns you can't beat Tenby. Aberdovey is quieter but still counts as a resort and is lovely. I won't mention my total favourite because it's very peaceful and quiet and we want to keep it that way! Gwynne

CALAIS ! If it was good enough for QE1 then its good enough for me. Only joking. Swanage. I was going to say Keswick but that's not seaside. David

I like the Dorset resorts: Swanage, Bournmouth, and Weymouth. I also like Felixstowe, in Suffolk. I wouldn't recommend the latter to anyone with young children though - the beach is too stony. :-))

Hi Dave, Dawlish is lovely, but I love Devon and Cornwall is absolutely lovely. When I was a kid I loved Margate and Clacton-on-Sea, but that was more because of the memories of day trips to those resorts big Bank Holiday treat was that :-) Pat x

Love Looe in Cornwall,but there again have soft spot for Torquay as we spent our honeymoon there in 1957. We have been to so many seaside resorts since then ,some lovely some not so memorable, so cant say we have any particular favourite. Shirley
