UK beach resorts: where to go in early fall
Did you know that the country of kings and princes boasts dozens of resorts and hundreds of beaches? Let's finally move away from the myth of perpetually foggy London and explore the monarchy's coastline.
Paignton
The seaside town sits on the coast of the Bay of Tor in the county of Devon. The region is famous for its mild climate, similar to the Mediterranean. The main beach is Paignton Beach. Here you can rent a water bike, take a boat ride or go fishing in the nearby harbor. There is also a pier dotted with a variety of cafes, stores and entertainment attractions for kids.
If you're traveling with kids, head to Broadsands Beach. There are colorful houses along the shore that the little ones will love. Here you can not only warm your bones, but also go windsurfing. By the way, the location has the distinction of Blue Flag.
We advise you to visit the water park Splashdown Quaywest. There are water slides and outdoor pools, including children's pools. Be sure to make time for Paignton Zoo Environmental Park. The zoo is home to tigers, crocodiles, gorillas, and other exotic animals. You can also take a little trip on a mini train.
Brixham
The coastal town is located on the southwest coast of England in the Torbay area. One of the cleanest beaches on the English Riviera is called Breakwater Beach. Most often connoisseurs of scuba diving come here. The water in the sea is warm and calm, so you can learn diving here.
If you need peace and quiet, go to St. Mary's Bay, a secluded coastline with rock formations all around. But be warned, you'll need to climb a steep staircase to get down here.
Learn more about the history of the region at the Heritage Museum. There are over 10,000 exhibits in the museum's collection, ranging from fishing and household tools to Napoleonic weapons.
You can also take a walk to Berry Head National Nature Reserve, a picturesque nature reserve that partially resembles the nature of Ireland. Here you can take incredible photos and enjoy the view of the English Channel.
Brighton
Located on the south coast of England, 80 kilometers from London. In summer, the lively seaside resort turns into bustling open-air dance floors. Here prevails a moderately warm climate, and the average air temperature ranges from 20 ° C to 23 ° C.
Most often Britons vacation on the main beach Brighton Beach. Once a fishing port, it is now home to numerous yacht clubs, restaurants and souvenir shops. One of the city's most famous attractions is Brighton Palace Pier. From the location there are magnificent views of the coast. There are also cafes, bars and attractions here.
Be sure to climb the Brighton i360 observation tower, which is included in the list of the tallest in Europe. Its height reaches 162 meters. A glass capsule that rises every 30 minutes takes you to the top. Also visit the Toy and Modeling Museum. The total number of exhibits is more than 20 thousand.
Eastbourne
The seaside resort is located on the coast of the Channel. The main tourist infrastructure of the city is a 6-kilometer beach and the promenade Eastbourne Beach, along which hotels and guest houses are located. Of course, there are showers, toilets and changing rooms. By the way, lovers of water sports here can go windsurfing and paddleboarding.
Be sure to go to the Eastbourne Pier, built back in 1870. Interesting fact: it appears in several movies, in particular "Last Wishes" (2001) and "Brighton Lollipop" (2010).
We also recommend taking a walk around the chalk promontory in East Sussex. From there you can admire the Belle Tout lighthouse. By the way, it is not working now. It was taken out of service because of the thick fog that constantly dimmed the light.
Bournemouth
The beach resort is located in the county of Dorset. A temperate climate prevails here and summers are warm and dry. The average temperature ranges from 20 to 23°C. You can rent a cabin at Southbourne Beach. There are also toilets and changing cabins here. The coast also has the Blue Flag distinction.
If you're traveling with kids, we recommend choosing Alum Chine Beach. There is a playground for children and unusual stores with ice cream.
Be sure to go to the Stanpit Marsh Nature Reserve. It is home to over 300 species of plants, some of which are endangered. Also visit the Russel Cotes Museum. The house was once home to a couple who amassed a large collection of Victorian artifacts. It was later donated to the city.
