The recent weather in the UK can let you be fooled as you think summer is here. If you're planning your summer vacation with this mini heat wave, you're not alone. But why do thousands spend overseas adventures when there is a British seaside town and compare it to the beauty of Italy's Cinque Tele?
StayCation experts at HolidayCottages.co.uk revealed the pick of the UK beach “Destination Dupes” heading for this bank holiday for a weekend getaway. This beach has made the top 5. This gorgeous north town features stunning beaches surrounded by red-roofed cottages and sturdy cliffs, but only a small portion of the crowds of Italian holiday hotspots.
Runswick Bay in Yorkshire is the ideal summer stay for Britons who want to get closer to their home this year.
In addition to the stunning beaches, the bay offers great opportunities for coastal strolls, fossil hunting and exploring quaint local cafes and shops, making it a fun and calm retreat.
As it is part of the famous Jurassic Coast, the beach offers a great opportunity for fossil hunting – and it's dog-friendly all year round, so it's perfect to bring the whole family with you – even four-legged friends.
If you're the outdoor type, there's something about Runswick Bay too. The Cleveland Way National Truck to Saltburn runs 110 miles between Helmslet and The Brigg at Filey. The trail passes through the famous smuggler Robin Hood Bay village and popular seaside resorts in Scarborough and Whitby, and there is no shortage of stunning views to marvel.
The waters of Runswick Bay are especially cod and mackerel. If you peel your eyes and be patient, you may even find stickers, dolphins, and whales frolicking in the cool blue seas.
