Best of both worlds: Brighton is a classic English seaside resort and one of the UK's coolest cities rolled into one.
It may be famously bracing, but there's more to Skeggy than funfairs, chip suppers and buckets and spades.
Get set for three piers, ballrooms and enough novelty hats to keep a thousand stag partiers' heads warm.
The nation's oldest seaside resort offers the traditional pleasures of beaches, rock pools and cliff-top walks.
If the coastal walks and fresh air don't wear you out in lovely Newquay, the surfing and countless nightlife options surely will.
It enjoys some of the warmest, driest and sunniest weather in Britain - no wonder Bournemouth was recently voted the UK's happiest town.
