Default Do you like the British seaside? What's your favourite place?

I love it all.
The fish and chips, ice cream, the funfairs.
I find them so much fun!
Southend is my favourite.

It's very hilly is Scarborough, so you get a good workout. Walking up hill to the castle really takes it out of you.

Beautiful beach, probably the best in the North of England, way better than Blackpool beach.

What about Salcoats?

In the iconic Scottish show, Still Game, they go to the seaside town with a made up name called "Finport" Those scenes are shot at Largs snd Salcoats.

Yeah, Saltcoats is just up the road. Don't think I've been to the seaside there.

I used to live in Bexhill-on-Sea (near Hastings) which features the De La Warr Pavilion, so I got used to the seaside life, tbh, so maybe that's why I find it a touch dull these days.
