Skegness named in UK’s top 10 all-time favourite Seaside resorts by WHICH Magazine

Skegness has been crowned ninth in the nation’s all-time favourite seaside resorts according to new research from consumer champion Which? Holidays.

The resort was voted into the top 10 thanks to an independent survey of over 4,000 members of the general public. Skegness was piped to the post by Blackpool who scooped first place, followed by Brighton, Whitby and Scarborough.

The official Which? certificate will be presented to Leader of East Lindsey District Council, Councillor Doreen Stephenson on July 12, 2010.

Councillor Doreen Stephenson, Leader of East Lindsey District Council said about the award "We know Skegness is a top ten seaside resort to visit and we know we offer something special for people visiting our entire District. This is another national endorsement for our coast and another achievement we can be proud of. We must build on this success, develop new opportunities for businesses and employment and continue to encourage people to visit both in season and out of season."

The results of the Which? survey follows hot on the heels of national research from British Resorts and Destinations Association (BRADA) whose revealed earlier this week that the British seaside industry is a growing market, despite speculation of a poor outlook, thanks to the national recession.
