Isle of Wight’s best seaside destinations

Two Isle of Wight coastal spots appeared on the list - Ventnor and Shanklin.

Ventnor received an impressive 71 per cent overall score, acheiving 4/5 for both scenery and peace and quiet. Hotel prices in the area came out with a pretty reasonable average price of £113 per night.

Shanklin scored highly for its beach but only received 2/5 for shopping and value for money. An average hotel room costs £101. These factors contributed to its 64 per cent score.

Further down the table, Skegness, Bognor Regis, Southend-on-Sea, Great Yarmouth and Burnham-on-Sea made up the bottom five, with destination scores no better than 51 percent.

UK's best and worst seaside towns

The results shine a spotlight on the sheer quality of Britain’s coastline: 51 destinations scored an impressive 70 percent overall or higher.

Ranked number one in 2019 and 2021, Bamburgh proved unbeatable once again thanks to its five-star beach.

This glorious stretch of golden sand runs for three miles, backed by a vast, tussock dune system and dominated by the epic Bamburgh castle.

Rory Boland, Editor of Which? Travel, said: “The British seaside hasn’t boomed like this since the 1960s. Holidaymakers had such a fantastic time in their caravans, tents and beach lodges over the past two years that a coastal break on home shores is on the cards for many, even with restrictions on overseas travel lifted.

“Prices for a UK stay have increased, but there’s no need to pay over the odds. For a holiday on a budget it’s best to aim for an off-season trip. Head to one of the many well priced resorts with your bucket and spade, an empty stomach for the candyfloss and a pile of 2p coins and go make your fortune on the slots.”
