Suggestions for Skegness-like places

[Gregory Torso]

Hi

I will soon have a week off from work, precious time off, and I would like to spend it for a week in a Skegness-like place. NOT SKEGNESS. I cannot make that clear enough - it must NOT be Skegness.

Yes I know it's winter, and I know everywhere is having a storm, and there's this orangina virus and twitch streams ravaging the country and the funfair will be closed, it's just what I want for myself right now.

So, does anyone have any suggestions of a nice seaside beachfront place with the natural beauty of the Skegness beaches and also the fun of the Skegness arcades and fish and chips, but that is not in fact Skegness?


Thanks.

Morecambe, the Skegness of the West.

Destruction.

Cleethorpes. Although it's technically on an estuary so there's more mud than sand. So in a way it's grimmer, but at least it's not Skegness

Dungeness
Sheerness
Bowness

Cleethorpes looks quite good actually. Desolate and windswept and dirty. That's going on the list, thanks.

These all sound lovely. I googled Bowness and it looks great.
However, I think Torness is probably an oil rig so I shan't be bothering to look that up.
Sheerness looks like a future crime scene.

Actually fuck it, think I'll just go to Skegness.

Thanks, everyone.

It's done.

They are mostly power stations, yes. Sorry.

Withernsea

Seconded. Deso-ville.

Howevs, from there you can have a gander down Spurn, and that's a pretty special place to visit.

Barry Island

Cromer's nice, and you can get a bus to Morston to go on a boat trip to see seals.

Or Great Yarmouth.

We want to know where you one stab a skag needle through one's foot in a sewage depositing hell hole.

Barmouth.

Although a week seems a bit too long in any British seaside holiday town.

When Extinction Rebellion form their first government only the most fortunate will be able to afford a holiday in Skegness

But all the rides and arcades will be turned off because they waste electricity.

So it'll look exactly like it will under another decade of late-stage capitalism, but you'll be told it's a treat to go there.

Pretty much like visiting Chernobyl today

Do NOT go to Sheerness.  In fact, avoid Sheppy at all cost.

Except Elmley, it's great.

Or shell island if you're posh and consider this tacky and don't care about your kids getting bored because there's fuck all too do.

That does look really nice actually, and it's got a zoo. Not too far from where I am now as well. Thanks!

I feel Lowestoft is more like Skeg then Yarmouth. Particularly the high street.

I love trashy seaside towns like  Skegness, I go there several times a year to visit family.

Didn't know you were part of raised by donkeys!

Tenby is nice. Bit of a trek from Skegness mind.

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

Cromer's nice

Yeah, I agree.
* reads statement a little more closely*
Oh.

ETA: Cuellar's done something similar, I see. You know I may not have done much with my life, but it fills me with pride to think I have helped to contribute to one of CaB's more well-known and well-liked memes.
