I haven't been in your town, but Bristol and Bath are very nice. I had an aunt in Paignton. As I see, from your photos, the beaches are very similar. The only thing I was complaining is cold sea. Anyway, south of UK has beautiful gardens and amazing flowers. I have been taking with me (in the airplane) a pot of fuchia from UK.
In my oppinion, there are not bad seaside towns in UK.
All the best.
