"Sadly, Blackpool has become a bit sleezy. But ok if you want that." Seaside towns are generally a bit 'naughty'. | |||

"I'm curious as to what it is about Blackpool that people are saying that its a dump. Can you be a bit more specifi? I used to visit customers there once a month in the 90s and always found it a good honest place. 20 sticks of rock for a pound, great fish and chips, potted shrimp on the pier. As a kid went ther eon day trips, loved the pleasure beach, the tower etc. I remember Yates as it used to be, a place for old d*unks. Now all Yates are places for young d*unks on the razzle. In modern times, I was led to believe it was the gay capital of the north, so I am wondering why it's not bening favourably referred to on here? " I was there last week after about 20 years and was astonished about how the place had come up. | |||

"Some of the best coastline and beaches aren't the main ones. Oftentimes, drive a few miles up the road and you'll find some lovely spots that only the locals know about. In saying that, recently visited Staithes and fell in love with it." | |||

"It depends where you go, there are some lovely places to visit by the coast and others not so much! Visited Morecambe as was near the Lake District last year and wish I hadn't!" Just wait for Eden North. This will change Morecambe radically for the better, if we consider what the Eden Project did for the Cornish economy. | |||

"Tenby for me" tenby is fabulous. Lovely beach. Were spoilt for choice down south. Never more than an hour away from great beaches | |||

"Yes, frantically making sandcastles to keep warm. The freezing sea ("it's lovely once you're in"). The leaden skies and endless days of rain ("I think the rain is easing"). But hang on, here's a treat : a stick of rock, harder than reinforced concrete' with Skegness all the way through it. Choose a saucy postcard ("if those puppies are for sale missus, I'll have the one with the pink nose")." . Why we live in south lol | |||

"I had many happy childhood memories of Blackpool but made the mistake of revisiting it recently what a depressing dump it is now" Yes I agree it's a bit run down. It has completely changed since I lived in the area and used to go out in Blackpool a lot. Then again that was just over 20 years ago! | |||

"Would love to get to the beach again and have always wanted to go to a nudist beach too. Just too self conscious to go I guess on my own. " There are some lovely beaches in the South West. Studland and Slapton just spring to mind. | |||

"Sadly, Blackpool has become a bit sleezy. But ok if you want that. Become? Perhaps 'even more sleazy' would have been better. The problem with many seaside towns started a few decades ago, when more people began to take holidays abroad. Hotels and guest houses turned into DSS Hostels, attracting people from the big cities and the drink/drug and crime problems they brought with them. Not a pretty sight. | |||

Harsh in the winter I would imagine though." It’s a breathtaking coastline and yes it can be harsh in winter especially during a real winter storm but I love it the colder the better as it keeps all the fair weather folk away so you can have the whole place to yourself. It’s the best time of year to fish I love nothing more than fishing the beaches and rocks on a freezing cold winters night 😊 No one around just me and my thoughts 👌 | |||

"Would love to be on a beautiful beach in Tenby eating fish and chips and watching the insane antics of the seagulls as I throw chips in the air. Followed by a few pints, and some raucous karaoke murdering some classic elvis numbers. Living the dream. " Throwing chips in the air is OK, but why were you throlwing pints in the air. Just how I read your entry. Ha. Ha. | |||
