Brighton is fantastic - quite an old fashioned sea front, but with loads to do - great nightlife and fab shops.

There are not many actual cities by the sea. (Cities have a cathedral).
Try Newcastle upon Tyne, it is near the sea, is a proper metropolita city and has many bars and clubs. The sea is only a matter of minutes away using the excellent Metro syatem. There is also a ferry terminal for when you want to get away from it all to Holland or Norway.
Also omly three hours from London on the train.
Seaside towns within minutes are Whitlety bay, Tynemouth and South Sheilds, although they are quiet.

I would recommend living in Porth Cawl, South of Wales. I also think St. Ives, in Cornwall Southern England is quite nice. If you like a bit colder winters then another beautiful seaside home would be
Fort Williams in Scotland. They all have there own unique seaside character. I am American but lived over there(UK) for nearly 5 years and on my time off, like bank holidays and such I
utilized my time and learned as much about the UK as possible.
Out of all three countries in the UK, I found Wales to be the Most Beautiful, not to mention the Welsh are nicer. Best wishes to you, and hope I helped. = )

Why not choose a town/village by the Sea near a city. The Norfolk/Suffolk coast has many such places that are beautiful - Lowestoft, bonus you are also near the Broads, Gt.Yarmouth/Gorleston, Cromer, Sheringham. All these places are within close proximity to Norwich - a fine City.

I understand that no part of the UK is more than 60 miles from the sea.

Depends so much on what you are looking for. The nicest ones in my opinion are Bristol, Southampton, Fife, Aberdeen, Brighton, Liverpool (in parts) and Newcastle. All of those have plenty of positives and some negatives. You're going to have to be a bit more specific to get a really useful answer.

Edinburgh is a really nice place. Good entertainment, clean air, the festival and Glasgow is not too far away. Excellent transport links the rest of UK and Europe.
