Whether you prefer dramatic coastlines with raging surf, remote-feeling marshes, or picture postcard little fishing villages, the UK has an abundance of shoreline scenery – along with idyllic beaches – to keep everyone happy. Please tell us about your favourite places by the sea, including hotels and B&Bs, coves and bays, towns, villages, coast paths and nature reserves.

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

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.
