  2. During summer, the English Riviera comes alive with visitors flocking to enjoy the soft sand and gentle lapping waves at our glorious beaches.
  3. As summer holiday memories start to fade and the first signs of autumn show, the English Riviera is all about warm and cosy settings, bracing walks and quality time spent with your loved ones.
  4. As the crowds disappear, get outdoors and enjoy our almost uninhabited award-winning beaches, magical woodland walks, rugged cliffs and striking coastline.
