If you are looking for a traditional Englsh seaside resort to visit, then you could do little better than the charming Swanage in Dorset. Boasting outstanding sandy beaches, and a beautiful unspoilt coastline, Swanage will appeal to all sorts of people, those who like the traditional beach style holiday, with the usual seaside resort amenities, those who like walking, cycling an hiking, and those who like to visit historic and ancient places (Corfe Castle for instance). With some of the best weather conditions in the UK, Swanage definitely has appeal as a summer holiday destination, and the beaches are great in the sunny weather, though not quite so appealing on rainy days, of which of course there are plenty (this being England). There is still lots to do when the weather is not so good, pop into the amusement arcades, go to the pictures or visit a charming English pub or two. Make sure you visit such lovely places as Lulworth Cove, Corfe Castle, Wareham and Purbeck, marvel at the Old Harry Rocks and Durdle Door, if you have time you could maybe visit Weymouth, Bournemouth or Poole all well worth the trip. All in all a great place to visit in Dorset, Swanage will not disappoint.
