ROUND-UPS
Slow September by the Sea
Published 26th August 2025
The perfect time for a seaside escape? September has it all.
The coast is calmer, the pace gentler, the evenings still warm. It’s a month for peaceful strolls along coastal paths, dips in the sea, and drinks in beach-front pubs as the sun goes down.
We’ve picked some of the UK’s loveliest seaside stays, from beachy Cornish cabins to shoreline Scottish retreats - just made for a slow September by the sea.
