A village on the Northumberland coast has been named Britain's best seaside
resort for the second year in a row.

Bamburgh came out on top out of 87 destinations in a survey of more than 4,300
people by consumer group Which?.

Holidaymakers rated the seaside location five stars and scored it 89% for its
beaches, seafront, peace and quiet, scenery and value for money.

Llandudno, Conwy, came in second place, with St Andrews, Fife, claiming the
third spot.

Bamburgh, with a population of just 400, scored 89% for the quality of its
beach, seafront, food and value for money

UK seaside locations have seen a surge in popularity owing to Covid, with many
people opting for domestic holidays rather than overseas trips, Which? said.

Rory Boland, editor of the travel magazine, 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."

Some 51 destinations across Britain scored at least 70% in the survey, with
Dartmouth, Devon, and Tenby, Pembrokeshire, ranked equal fourth best.
