Travel, he said: “The British beach has not flourished like this since the 1960s. “Vacationers have had such a fantastic time in caravans, tents and beach shelters over the past two years that many are focusing on a beach getaway, even with the lifting of restrictions on travel abroad. “Prices for a stay in the UK have risen, but you do not have to pay beyond the odds. For a low budget holiday, it is best to aim for an off-season trip.” The top five seaside resorts in Britain:
