A charming seaside town has been named one of the best in the UK - boasting a sandy beach, lighthouse and award-winning pier. Southwold, which can be found nestled within Suffolk, has come out on top and it's not surprise why. The picturesque town is home to colourful beach huts, an array of pubs and mouth-watering chippies.
Camping and Caravan Club shared their list of its favourite seaside towns and placed Southwold number one, followed closely behind St Ives in Cornwall and Weymouth in Dorset. The beautiful town, which has a population of just over 1,000 people, is said to be a "great destination year-round", according to the ranking.
The town offers plenty of things to do with its vibrant atmosphere and features several must-see attractions. Website, Visit Suffolk, shared that Southwold is also home to a bustling high street - making it the perfect place for tourists to visit. The website said: "The town offers much of interest, but it is the sea and Southwold’s links with it that make this a wonderful destination at any time of the year. Come and sample the Southwold sea air! All the attractions of the working lighthouse, beach huts, award-winning pier, busy harbour, cliff top cannon and of course the beach, combine to make Southwold a quintessentially English resort town.
"The award-winning beach runs alongside rows of the famous Southwold beach huts, gleaming in the sunshine in their vibrant colours. The pier houses gift shops, a broadwalk cafe and the bizarre ‘Under the Pier Show’. The High Street is the perfect location for some retail therapy alongside cafes and restaurants that serve quality food, exquisitely cooked and washed down with ale brewed at the local Adnams brewery.".
