According to the research, Hythe is the cheapest seaside resort in the UK and the best bargain staycation for 2023.
A fish and chip meal in the Kent resort costs just £8.70 on average while an ice cream comes in at £2.
Hythe was also good value when it came to the average cost of a holiday rental, at just £111 per night.
Hythe Beach is a shingle beach backed by a promenade with uninterrupted views of the Kent coast.
A tourist who visited the beach wrote on Tripadvisor: “Beautiful clean beach. The beach is beautiful, and the shingle is clean.”
Redcar in Yorkshire took the second spot on the list and a fish and chip meal costs less than £10 there.
While accommodation was slightly more expensive at £119 on average, the resort is still a great bargain option.

“Luckily, when it comes to the seaside, we really are spoiled for choice in Britain as it’s home to many wonderful destinations that can offer a wonderful coastal getaway for every need and budget.”
