Highly recommended to visitors from further afield – it’s certainly in ‘hidden gem’ territory.”

No seaside holiday is complete without a fish and chips.

Favourite spots in the town include Ingham’s Fish, Dicky Bees Fish and Chips or CJ’s Fish and Chips. If you don’t fancy something with vinegar then you can grab an Indian at Monsoon Indian Cuisine or a Chinese at Golden Dragon. If you want to satiate that sweet tooth after you dinner then head to Shuga Shak on the water front.
