Kent named best UK region for seaside towns

A new list by Rough Guides names Kent as the top UK county for seaside towns, featuring Whitstable, Folkestone, and Margate. This marks a shift from the usual favorites like Cornwall, Devon, and Dorset. Whitstable is noted for its bohemian vibe and local oysters, while Folkestone has transformed into a creative hub. Margate stands out for its cool atmosphere and revamped Old Town. Other notable mentions include Ilfracombe and Salcombe in Devon, and Bournemouth and Weymouth in Dorset. Cornwall's Padstow and St Ives also made the top 30.
