Scarborough
Scarborough in Yorkshire is a seaside resort and fishing port with a great claim to fame. It is claimed locally that Scarborough was the first seaside resort in Britain with sea bathing starting in 1660! Bathing machines were introduced in a bit later in 1733 and the resort has continued to be popular ever since. B AND B SOUTH BAY
Whitley Bay
The famous town of Whitley Bay offers a great coastline, a famous lighthouse and a great atmosphere to welcome visitors. St. Mary's Lighthouse stands as a beacon on its own island and has done now for over 100 years. Although not in active service, the structure remains a popular draw for visitors and features in many a photographer's portfolio due to its stunning setting and appearance.
We stayed at the St Mary`s caravan site
Sunderland/Seaburn
There are wide sandy beaches at Roker, which is part of Sunderland and at nearby Seaburn. Opposite Roker beach is Roker Park which was established in Victorian times and still retains an air of grandeur about it. Roker is certainly a popular holiday and weekend resort for those wanting to fish, jet-ski, windsurf or sail. At Seaburn beach you will find a wide promenade and plenty of attractions and amenities, including a children's outdoor play area.

BAIRDS TRAVELS TO ENGLAND
Tynemouth
Tynemouth has a long sandy beach, promenade and harbour where the local fishing fleet is based. Tynemouth village is a short distance from the beach and there you'll find a mix of antique shops, fashion boutiques, eating places and superb village pubs. There is also a ruined castle and ancient prior on the hill overlooking the town.
Day out from Whitley Bay
Newquay
My favourite Newquay styles itself as the surfing capital of England and that seems like a pretty accurate description but it is also ideal for family holidays. The attraction of Newquay for both types of holiday are its excellent beaches and clean sea. The town itself is unremarkable but there is plenty of good accommodation available in all categories and plenty of places to eat and drink until your hearts content. Beach culture is the order of the day and with good reason the beaches are excellent and big!

St Ives on Cornwall's rugged north coast is a magnet for tourists who flock to the town each year. A small resort town with a great atmosphere, many people are hooked on their first visit and return to the area time and again Day trip from Newquay
THE ISLES OF SCILLY St Marys

The Isles of Scilly consist of 140 small islands some thirty miles out from the Cornish coast. Most of these are uninhabited except by sea birds and seals but you can stay on any of the five main islands.
For details of Isles of Scilly Hotels and Holidays, Guest Houses, Cottages and Attractions. Go to Isles of Scilly Hotels Guest Houses and Cottages
The main islands are, St Mary's, Tresco, St Martin's, St Agnes and Bryher - St Mary's is the largest island at 2 miles by 2.5 miles and has the largest population at around 900.
The coast around many of the islands tends to be rugged as a result of the pounding of the Atlantic over the years. However there are good sandy beaches on St Mary's and St Martin's. Day trip from Newquay
Land's End
Land's End is one of England's most recognised land marks. The name is very apt - standing on the rocks watching the Atlantic rollers crashing on to the rocky shore below, feels as if you are miles out to sea already.
This headland has been a site of pilgrimage since early times and is a part of our Celtic heritage. Standing at 200 feet the granite cliffs of Land's End protect Britain from the storms that sweep across the Atlantic. Looking out to sea across the foaming ocean it is easy to imagine the lost land of Lyonesse which legend says was lost to the ocean in times past. Just off of the coast is the Longships Light
Bournemouth lies directly to the east of Poole but they are conjoined - one and the same to all intents and purposes. However there are distinct differences between the two towns. Bournemouth is older than its neighbour, having been established around 1810 as a seaside resort. The buildings in the centre and some of the larger, more established hotels reflect this foundation in the Victorian era.
