This must be the only seaside resort of note with a Tory MP. I can't think of a single resort that has had continuous Conservative representation.

Lytham St Anne's is on the coast but certainly would want to be referred to as a seaside resort.  |

Bognor is certainly a resort and a fairly notable one I would have thought.

I suppose we could quibble about where constitutes a seaside resort of note (of which the earlier mention of Bognor Regis is a suitable example) - but, and I mean this as no criticism or issue with the original question, we could also talk about seaside resorts that do not have a Conservative MP but we suspect voted that way - like Swanage which I don't think is not of note (not least for being a family favourite of ours).

It still has a pier. But it is half a mile off the coast, with the rest having been swept away some decades ago now. So you need to be able to swim to get there.  |

Nice bit of coast there. |

There has been a campaign to rebuild it for some time, but it seems to be making slow progress. Apparently the main building on the isolated "island" is now in a poor condition. |
