If it's a traditional British holiday resort you're after, then Clacton-on-Sea's the answer.
Boasting miles of sandy beaches and a pier, this is a place where tourism is the main industry.
Despite suffering from the closure of a major Butlin's holiday camp in the town, the town has picked itself up.
The town itself is relatively new - having been created in 1864 when the land on the cliff top near Great Clacton was marketed as a prime development site.
In the 1960s it was a popular place, not just for family holidays but for Mods and Rockers, who used to battle it out, giving locals the kind of headlines they didn't want.
These days it's still a popular holiday resort for families with all kinds of indoor and outdoor sports and activities on offer.
Here you'll find seafront amusement arcades, aquariam and everything to keep everyone in the family happy.
