Living by the sea isn’t just about a property or a new location, it can be a whole lifestyle change. Research shows that people who live close to the ocean tend to be more active, and therefore healthier. You don’t have to surf or swim all year to improve your health, just a short walk by the sea each day can boost your mood, improve your fitness, and help prevent illness. Those of you who are looking for a new home by the sea will know that the property market is buoyant and seaside homes are selling quickly. Therefore, we’ve done a bit of the work for you and found 50 fabulous coastal properties by the sea for you to peruse. Ten of these include a business, as along with…

Julian Sutherland-Beatson opened his waterside gallery in Bexhill-on-Sea in summer 2021 after he saw an advert for a small kiosk that was available on the promenade. It sits in front of the town’s iconic De La Warr Pavilion and the artist realised it would make the perfect place to display his array of paintings, archive-quality prints and cards, all of which feature the coastline, countryside and townscapes of East and West Sussex. Julian, whose work has been exhibited in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition three times, can now be found there most days in high season, along with his dog, Layla. Gallery Sussex is open six days a week from April until September, from 10.30am to 4pm (closed on Wednesday); October until March, open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. See more…

JESSIE JOHNSON Jessie is a freelance writer for a range of national magazines and specialises in features. After over a decade living in London she and her family recently re-located to the North East Lincolnshire coast where she grew up. This summer she’s looking forward to picnics on the beach and coastal bike rides. On page 34, she reports on the Howard family’s relocation to Selsey in West Sussex. She found that ex-Londoners Steven and Carol have taken to coastal living like gulls to water, crafting their home with reclaimed wood and vintage furnishings, and walking on the beach daily. WILLIAM THOMSON Regular coast contributor and avid thalassophile, William is a tide expert and author of The Book of Tides. As well as writing, he designs evocative prints illustrating tide…

Sticks of rock, ice cream, donkey rides, sandcastles, fish and chips, Punch and Judy, saucy postcards, grand hotels, pretty cottages and friendly B&Bs – we British love a seaside escape. So much so, that the traditional seaside experience has become woven into our national consciousness. It all took off with the advent of the railways in the mid-19th century, bringing coastal destinations within easy reach of city dwellers and giving seaside towns the impetus to provide all kinds of fun and entertainment. Now, as domestic holidays are more popular than ever, and with piers, sea bathing pools and promenades being restored and revived, this rich seam of history is ripe for rediscovery. 1 FOR… VICTORIAN ATMOSPHERE SCARBOROUGH, NORTH YORKSHIRE As one of Britain’s earliest seaside resorts, Scarborough is steeped in…

The Northumberland coastline offers nearly 40 miles of uninterrupted sandy beaches that are empty and wide. With 70 castles to explore, the second largest protected Dark Sky Park in Europe and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty designation, there are so many ways to enjoy it over a long weekend or a summer holiday. While you might choose to watch the sun set on a balcony overlooking the beach in a tiny fishing village famous for gin smuggling 200 years ago, you could just as easily luxuriate in a copper bath in a cosy inn that’s five minutes from the beach, after a day of puffin and grey seal watching. Whether you crave a smart retreat or a quirky bolthole in which to unwind, relax in nature and recharge, we’ve…

Marina operator Boatfolk and charity the Andrew Simpson Foundation are working together to inspire children to become a boating generation. The #boatgen campaign aims to bring young boaters together and give them all the tools they need to start having fun afloat.

We live between the Avon and Kingsbridge Estuaries, with Dartmoor one way and the sea in the other. I’ve known the South Hams since childhood holidays and five years ago my husband and I bought a house here with a long-term plan of spending more time on the coast. We commuted from Wiltshire to renovate it and became very attached, so much so that during lockdown we re-evaluated our lives and decided that it would be possible to work remotely and to go part-time. We moved in last summer, in time for our two teenagers to start the new school term. My family surf, but I prefer paddleboarding on the estuaries. They are full of wildlife, including herons and cormorants. Once a seal popped up right in front of me!…

The urge to move to the UK coast has never been stronger or so full of expectations and, according to those in the know, two significant factors have driven the market over the last two years. ‘First Brexit,’ says Christopher Bailey, head of waterfront property at national estate agent, Knight Frank. ‘Then Covid.’ The first, he explains, started a trend for a more insular approach to buying property in holiday destinations, ‘shifting away from Europe, looking closer to home’. And then the age of lockdowns set in. As people rushed to leave cities, second homes swiftly became first homes, demand increased, stock started dwindling and prices rocketed. ‘And that dynamic hasn’t really changed,’ Christopher says. ‘Now that people are more able to work from home, there is a strong desire…

‘We can think of few ingredients that change dishes in the same way as salt does. What would life be without a smooth caramel punctuated by salt crystals, a perfectly cured bacon rasher, or a warm handful of glistening, salted potato crisps? ‘Our life has centred around sea salt – making it, perfecting it and travelling the world selling it – for over 20 years. We use seawater drawn from the Menai Strait around Anglesey. Before the water even reaches our saltcote (an old French word for a building by the sea), it has already passed through two natural filters: a mussel bed and a sandbank. We then gently heat the seawater in a vacuum so it boils at a lower temperature. Gradually, the water releases steam and turns into…

After being immersed in the natural wonders of Norfolk’s creeks in our last exploration, this month we are heading to a very different sailing destination in the North Sea – Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Ditch your wellies and get city shoes on, because we’re going to be exploring art galleries, Michelinstarred restaurants and hip brew pubs. There is nothing more invigorating to the senses than contrast, and you will find this in double measures when comparing Blakeney’s Quay to Newcastle’s Quayside; while both are strongly affected by the same tide wave rushing around the North Sea, that’s where the similarities end. Famous for its night-life, the city offers a wide range of attractions for the culture vulture too, from the world-class Baltic Contemporary Art Gallery to Norman Foster’s Sage Gateshead. Following the river…

A couple of years ago, before the pandemic, we went on a four-day trip to the Isles of Scilly (pictured). We went because – honestly? – I wanted to say to the children, ‘You’re so silly because you’re in Scilly!’. I thought it was really funny, but they were, ‘Oh Mum….’ We went in spring, said to be one of the best times to go, when fields of narcissus are in flower, ready for export. The archipelago is on the Gulf Stream and sits in a band of warm weather, which gives a tropical feel to the countryside. I had no idea the islands were so beautiful, it surprised me. We arrived by boat from Cornwall with our friends – 10 of us in all – and stayed at the…
