seaside town
Coastal resort village
A seaside town is a community located on the coast, typically one that developed around fishing, maritime trade, or tourism.
These towns often feature promenades, piers, beaches, and architecture oriented toward the water.
In British usage especially, seaside town evokes images of holiday destinations with amusement arcades, fish and chips, and slightly faded Victorian charm.
We spent a week in a quiet seaside town on the Cornwall coast.
