oops,didn't read your own suggestion.0 -
Leysdown0

Greatstone or littlestone near dymchurch, both are really nice, close to dynchurch but not to close to lager louts,0
-
Allhallows-on-sea........ classy0
-
seaford (east sussex), just down the coast from brighton, nice little town, few nice pubs, big campsite down there and a few nice little BnB's depending on what you are after... right on the front, great pebble beach0

My dad fought off the hun at an ack-ack site at Allhallows. Used to go down there for old times sake and have a pint in the Pilot(?) when I was a nipper. More like Allhallows -on- Mud as I remember it, Oggy.0

Yes, its just west of Monaco on the southern coast of France - oh sorry, thought you meant Nice.0

All of those are stinkholes! Especially Leysdown and Allhallows
Drive down to Bracklesham bay, you'll like that0 -
Unless you've got a caravan: they seem to breed down that part of the world.0

Ha ha ..... went there once for a day trip when I was a nipper.
Like Leysdown ..... my sister lives at Sittingbourne, and occasional they go across the bridge to The Island, as everyone there calls it. Well one day, we ended up at Leysdown, real Caravan Country.

Lovely old unspoiled seaside town: Westgate-on-sea. Between Birchington and Margate.
Rye is nice if you can do without a beach or nip along the road to Camber Sands for an afternoon.
Had three days in The Cotswolds last week. Bourton-on-the-Water. >>> http://www.cotswolds.info/places/bourton-on-the-water.shtml.
Stayed at http://www.chesterhousehotel.com/. Dine at The Rose Tree.0 -

Blimey.That takes me back.Crackin little place.Not too far from Chichester.0 -
westgate is lovely and quiet0

Whitstable........... But I'm biased.
I wouldn't go to Westgate for a weekend. It's too near Margate and won't be an escape at all.0 -

Exactly what we did Sunday a week and a bit ago. Camber is great but parking can be an issue... so, go in the afternoon as some folk are leaving...0 -
Lyme Regis. End of.
Worth the extra hour it'll take you to get there and back - honestly.0 -
clacton, or if you want to venture further afield theres always skegness0

Had a good old mods/rockers punch up in Clacton around '64-'65. Expect it's a bit quieter now.0

Exactly what we did too - got down there at about 3:00 - it was awesome. Sat in the dunes and had a braai.[cite]Posted By: Medders[/cite][cite]Posted By: Stone[/cite]Rye is nice if you can do without a beach or nip along the road to Camber Sands for an afternoon.

Expect you are too these days, Mr March

Swanage and the Isle of Purbeck - within easy reach of Durdle Door etc. - beautiful and it feels like a million miles away.
Like Leroy said, it is worth the extra hassle to get to Dorset - lovely place.0 -

not if he lives in grimsby.0 -
Thanks alot guys, loads of really good suggestions, Skeggy is a bit far for me!0

You're not wrong OR, but still got the old Bonneville in the garage for old time's sake. Sit on it and go Brrrm Brrrm (if I can get me leg over that is.....). Anyway there's a very old, quaint B&B/hotel in Pevensey (Eastbourne way) that's good, trying to remember the name!0

If I lived in Skegness, I could change my user name to Skeggy Red.
Useless trivia time:
Did you know that the old Viking name Grimsby ...... means 'ugly town'.

If you're going to head for Southwold I'd say stay in Walberswick0
