Southwold is brilliant!

It's got a pier and a mechanically genius amusement arcade type thing half way along it. I don't know anywhere to stay though.

You can go on an RIB for £16, total bargainium.

Fabulous pubs, excellent food.

We are about 16 miles away from there but I am shortly returning to the Motherland with the little leprachauns for our Summer Shindig.

It's always windy in Southwold though. Aldeburgh is terribly upmarket, went there for my Hen weekend, which either shows you that NO it is not terribly upmarket or we managed to evade capture. Plenty of b and b's there, fabulous chip shop and quite a lot to see really for a small place. Not far from Snape where there is shopping, tea shops, concert hall and river trips.

Else head up North Norfolk, Hunstanton is OK but shuts at 10pm, Sherringham, Cromer and so forth are seriously dull. Pretty but dull. Nice roads along the North Norfolk coast if you taking bikes though.

Hope you have fun whatever you decide to do!

Southwold is fab and the sea is lovely and the rides out on the rigid inflatable are great fun indeed to catch the waves!!! Aldeburgh is more upmarket but as nonnie said, we brought the tone several tones lower with incredible ease and weren't asked to leave!!!

Hastings and St Leonard's have plenty of sea front hotels and B&Bs but are a bit chavvy from memory!!!

Wherever you go have a lovely time and happy biking.
