Oh, we still love to be beside the seaside … The UK has more traditional kiss-me-quick resorts than you can shake a rock at, and as holidaying at home becomes more popular, many towns are being rejuvenated in an attempt to bring back visitors. Folkestone’s seafront has been transformed by art in the past decade, while Margate was the seaside backdrop for Sam Mendes’ latest film, Empire of Light, and the Sky comedy-drama Dreamland.

So, where do you go to have fun at the fair? Tell us what you love about your favourite town, from the beaches and coastal walks to the fish and chip shops and seafood shacks.

If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.

Keep your tip to about 100 words.

The best tip of the week, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, will win a £200 voucher to stay at a Coolstays property – the company has more than 3,000 worldwide. The best tips will appear in the Guardian Travel section and website.

We’re sorry, but for legal reasons you must be a UK resident to enter this competition.

The competition closes on Monday 24 April at 9am
