seaside resort

Coastal vacation town

A seaside resort is a town or destination located on the coast, developed primarily for vacationers seeking beaches, ocean views, and related recreation.

The term evokes boardwalks, hotels, and summer crowds: Brighton became England's most famous seaside resort.

Some seaside resorts cater to luxury travelers, others to families seeking affordable beach holidays.
