Most expensive coastal area

Sandbanks in Poole, Dorset, has been identified as the most expensive coastal area in the UK, with an average property asking price of nearly £1.6 million, as reported by Rightmove. The second most expensive area is Canford Cliffs, also in Poole, at approximately £1.2 million, followed by Milford on Sea at £751,442. In stark contrast, Saltcoats in Ayrshire is the cheapest coastal location, with an average asking price of £114,365. Additionally, Easington and Peterlee in County Durham are among the most affordable areas, with average prices of £122,520 and £124,593, respectively. Rightmove's analysis indicates a reversal in the pandemic-driven trend of seeking coastal properties, with cities like Glasgow and Bristol gaining popularity. However, demand for seaside homes remains strong as many people continue to seek a lifestyle change away from urban centers.
