[snickare]

Hi guys,
hopefully if everything will go as expected,next year i will move in England,and of course i will go where i will find a job,but,my question is,could you name some sea towns quite and pictoresque,where to live and work? i come from a small town in Italy,Terracina,and i´m used to live about 50metres from the sea..i would like to find a place that remembers me my hometown;after some years in Sweden far from the sea and the sun it start to be really difficult now..this is a picture of my town..

As long as it's in Kent, you can't go far wrong. I'd recommend Whitstable.

For the best chance of sun you'll be looking at the South coast - from Kent to Cornwall, but there are quiet and picturesque towns all over. One of my favourite areas is in South Wales - Gower Coast.

York is pretty nice 9-)

I must of missed the coast last time I visited York. Unless your referring to the ooze in a bad winter.

I live on the Isle of Wight, nothing is more than 8k from the sea!

I live in Lee on the Solent so right on the sea. I love it. However the road in and out isn't great, so it depends on your work as to where is good to go. My In Laws live in East Wittering and that's a nice spot.

Avoid seaside places in Cornwall unless you wish to make your living selling overpriced ice cream or heroin.

Unfortunately there's nothing in Essex I can recommend, and least of all Canvey Island or Jaywick.

Can i know why doorframe?seems that many of you guys think that there are places really not so good along the coast,i never been in UK,so i have no idea why,could you guys explain the problems that some of this towns you mentioned have?

Dorset, Sussex and Kent all have nice places to live near the sea. Finding work nearby is another matter though, depends on your work I guess. I've always liked it around Chichester way but the A27 can be a real pain at times.

A lot will depend upon what else you want.

The Exmoor Coast is stunning, but has few opportunities for well-paid work, and does not make for easy access to the rest of the country. We love living here (well, just a little east) for the feeling of calm and isolation from the teeming south-east, for the open spaces and the wildlife.

Other people might prefer employment, nightlife, or similar opportunities.

Hi Phill. it looks a stunning place..what a beautiful landscape,i will look carefully..
