For a British beach break with more space to yourself, choose from these top hotels With hotels in England expected to reopen on May 17, many Brits will beat a path to the coast this summer. While Cornwall is a traditional choice for a seaside break, for a wider choice of rooms available, try the destinations below. These often overlooked spots have everything you'd expect from the usual honeypots, with a fraction of the visitors. Enjoy clean beaches for sand castles and picnics, stunning coastal walks, water sports, great seafood and – with a bit of luck – sunshine. View seaside hotels

Isle of Wight Taking a ferry to the Isle of Wight almost gives you the feeling of travelling overseas. The compact island has no motorways or big cities, and boasts lovely beaches, nature reserves and English Heritage homes and gardens. View hotels Northumberland To get away from it all, head to the wild coast of Northumberland in northeast England. With vast, empty beaches and mighty castles including Bamburgh, England's least crowded county is hiding in plain sight. View hotels

Suffolk Blessed with landscapes that inspired John Constable, Suffolk is the smallest and gentlest of the East Anglian counties. The biggest draw is its coast, home to two of Britain's finest resorts – Aldeburgh and Southwold. View hotels Pembrokeshire This remote Welsh county is an instant heart-stealer with its purple-grained cliffs that fall to golden bays, caves and rock stacks lashed by the Irish Sea. Adventure seekers can enjoy kayaking, surfing and coasteering. View hotels

Kent The Garden of England sits pretty in quiet seclusion, with classic country pubs, tree-shaded trails and peaceful beaches. Famous for big skies painted by JMW Turner, Margate is now the height of fashion once again. View hotels Norfolk On Norfolk's long, sandy beaches, there is always space for games, kite-flying or a picnic in the dunes. Inland there are old market towns, sleepy villages and the restful Broads, as well as pine forest and copious wild flowers. View hotels

Brighton Once the seaside bolthole of the Prince Regent, Brighton's regal legacy can be seen in its Regency architecture and fine parks. Today, there is a flamboyant spirit that makes this one of Britain's most exciting cities. View hotels Devon The South West Coast Path, Britain's longest footpath, traces both coasts of Devon, offering easy access to windswept cliffs, sandy coves and hamlets. Devon's produce – meat, seafood, cheese – ranks among the best in the world. View hotels
