A well-loved stretch of British coastline with palm trees and sandy beaches has been dubbed the 'British Turkey'.
This summer millions of Brits will head to the Mediterranean, Spanish islands and the Middle East for guaranteed sunshine and access to the warm sea.
While the weather in the UK may be a little too temperamental to ensure a week's worth of roasting on the beachfront, there is one spot which has higher temperatures than almost anywhere else on these isles, and an amazing coastline, Devon Live reported.
Torquay is undeniably one of Devon's most vibrant and exciting seaside towns - and it's now been dubbed the 'British Turkey' in a gushing new video celebrating the resort and all it has to offer.
Those living in the area are particularly proud of its beaches, palm tree lined promenade, iconic harbour and bustling pubs and restaurants that draw in great throngs of tourists every summer.
The English Riviera as it is dubbed has long been a fan favourite holiday destination and a buzzing hive of activity throughout the summer months, and now it has been showcased in a TikTok video by user 6mxria.
In the clip some of the amazing views you’ll spot when exploring the balmy resort are highlighted, prompting those who've visited it to dub it the 'British Turkey'.
One person wrote simply: “Torquay is beautiful."
One of the most iconic and irresistible features of Torquay is its incredible coastline, with beaches including Oddicombe, Meadfoot and Torre Abbey Sands tempting great crowds on sunny days.
Torquay’s harbour is the perfect place for visitors stroll and admire the array of boats and sea views, before settling in to one of the selection of cafes, restaurants, and bars offering delicious seafood dishes.
The town also provides ample opportunities for outdoor activities. Visitors can explore the scenic South West Coast Path, which offers breath-taking views of the coastline and access to hidden coves and sandy beaches.
A new study of The Met Office weather records highlighted that South Devon - Torbay specifically - is the UK’s most reliably warm and sunny holiday destination.
Researchers found it offers holidaymakers the best combination of hot and sunny weather, with a high number of annual ‘sunshine hours’ and strong average yearly temperatures.
Torbay is made up of the towns of Torquay, Paignton, and Brixham and is often referred to as the English Riviera due to its mild climate and popular tourist attractions.
If you like the sound of Torquay but it is too far for you to visit, then Scarborough may suffice.
With its two beautiful beaches, North Bay Beach and South Bay Beach, the Yorkshire town has been attracting holidaymakers for centuries.
As well as great access to the occasionally sparkling North Sea, the town is filled with tourist delights, including plentiful fish and chip shops, excellent ice cream and the 12th-century Scarborough Castle.
The North Yorkshire coastal spot was recently recognised as the UK's favourite seaside town in a consumer survey by Which?, with many telling the consumer publication of the excellent days out they'd spent in the northern town.
The love felt for Scarborough is also shared by those who live in the town all year round and not just those who come to enjoy it on a sunny summer's day.
Athi, a father who relocated from South Africa, said that living in the Yorkshire seaside destination makes him feel as if he is on a perma-holiday.
"It feels like we're on holiday living here, rather than here to work," he said.
"It's so beautiful - we have a lovely view and we love to sit at our window and watch the waves. It's very friendly too - our neighbours are nice, though I think most of the other flats are holiday apartments."
