2. Whitby
3, Blackpool
4. St Ives
5. Scarborough
6. Weymouth
7. Bournmouth
8. Tenby
9. Newquay
10. Skegness
Cannot believe that Whitby is more popular than Blackpool or Weymouth is than Bournmouth
Whayever happened to Southend, Clacton Great Yarmouth, Margate, Southport
I would think all these are more popular than Tenby

You’ve got to be kidding, Tenby is lovely and beats the others you think are more popular (which I think are dire) into a cocked hat!

Every list you look at gives a different order - depends on the source used.

Blackpool, really ? its a dump.
St Ives and Newquay are much better.

The data used to compile that list was a 2014 survey from campsites.co.uk. Visitors to that site are generally looking for accommodation in tents or caravans. So people who prefer to stay in more expensive accommodation, or those who simply enjoy day trips, won't have contributed to the list.

Southend, for example, is largely a day-trip destination for Londoners, with very few campsites in the area.

This particular poll was taken 6 years ago, we’ve got blue flag beaches here that haven’t been mentioned....but polls aren’t always right

>>> Cannot believe that Whitby is more popular than Blackpool

Given that Blackpool is a total dump (like Margate), whereas Whitby has lots of charm, I don't find that at all surprising!

Well I find the time to visit Tenby every year gollob and few places can beat it. Tenby knocks Southend, Clacton, Great Yarmouth, Margate and Southport into a cocked hat and we've visited all of them in the last 15 years or so. Tenby is after all in Pembrokeshire, the "little England beyond Wales" which partially accounts for the English returning to the Welsh town time and time again. Tenby can't be beaten as a seaside resort in my view.

Well Brighton is certainly popular (especially if you are a gay man - the place is swinging). St Ives is nice in the summer but when the South East contingent have left, turned off their Agas and put their Cath Kidston oven gloves away in the drawers at the holiday home for another year, the place is dead. Same goes for Newquay. Tenby is nice though. It is a bit like Bath by the sea.

Padstow is the same, 237SJ.

I went to Blackpool once for a weekend conference, the words Sodom and Gomorrah come to mind !
