Airbnb names 'quaint' Yorkshire seaside town best place to visit in UK

A Yorkshire town has been named the top seaside spot to visit in the UK. Airbnb released a list of the 12 'trending' seaside destinations for 2022.

And Hornsea in East Yorkshire should be top of your list says Airbnb. A spokesman said the town, with its "quaint promenade and historical Victorian folly" had jumped from eighth to the leading spot in the trending list.

As reported by YorkshireLive, the data is based on year-on-year growth in accommodation user nights booked on Airbnb. Below are Airbnb's top trending seaside destinations. Gems in the North West of the country, including Fleetwood and Formby, are also proving popular with Brits choosing a seaside staycation.

"These trending UK seaside destinations highlight that some Brits are opting to spend their summers at seaside resorts across the country, soaking up the heatwave on home soil and swapping far-flung destinations for the nostalgic pleasures of fish and chips, rock pooling and ice cream vans."
