Airbnb has revealed its top trending UK seaside destinations for 2022 - and two North East sites have made the list.
Hornsea in Yorkshire is number one, jumping from eighth place in 2021 to the leading spot. Hidden gems in the North West of the country, including Fleetwood and Formby, are also proving popular with Brits as staycations are embraced for another year.
And Whitley Bay, in North Tyneside, and Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, in Northumberland, are included in the top 12. Whitley Bay, which has seen major regeneration over the past few years and is home to the Spanish City Dome, is number eight on the list, while Newbiggin, which has an iconic Couple sculpture looking out towards the North Sea, is 11th.
