As for "gods waiting room" that applies to most of our coastal towns.
Well the ones that aren't stuffed with oxygen thieves.
Let's be honest, many of our seaside resorts are falling to bits most of the shops are closed and boarded, The only places that seem open are tesco/spar and the local cafe/chippy
Don't know which ones you have visited but there are quite a few within an hours drive of here - Blackpool (South of the Pleasure Beach and north of the Norbreck), Cleveleys, Lytham, St Annes, Fairhaven, Southport - all of which are thriving well kept towns.
I know Blackpool pretty well having lived in Norbreck and Anchorsholme - quite agree with you that Blackpool itself is a terrible place but not much decent private housing anyway unless you get well away from the seafront.
One golden rule was always to stay away from Town Centre pubs and bars during the season.
