It is a combination of charm and space that makes Minehead unique as a seaside town. A mile-long beach that curves gently to a western historic harbour is framed by hills and farmland.
The expensive esplanade leads to an open boulevard, The Avenue, which has an impressive choice of independent shops and cafes that are set back from the street by wide pavements.
It feels genteel and safe, yet also has the buzz of a resort, where families can have fun.
