Two Hampshire areas have been ranked among Britain's most expensive seaside spots for 2025.

The analysis comes from the property site Rightmove, with the Hampshire spots ranking in third and fourth place.

Milford-on-Sea was in third with an average asking price of £728,460, while Lymington was in fourth with an average asking price of £639,316.

In terms of how these prices fared year-on-year, Milford-on-Sea's were up by 1% and Lymington's were down by 2%.

The Hampshire towns were only beaten out by Sandbanks and Canford Cliffs, which were ranked first and second, respectively.

Sandbanks had an average asking price being £1,282,565, making it the only spot with an average of over £1million.

Colleen Babcock, property expert at Rightmove, said: “Sandbanks now stands out as the only seaside spot with an average asking price of over the million-pound mark.

"By contrast, lower-priced seaside spots like Saltcoats and Peterlee offer home-movers a sea view at a fraction of the price, with average asking prices over a quarter of a million pounds below the national average.”

The publication shared: "Lymington’s a refined seaside town with postcard-perfect high streets – but the boat-filled harbour is the main attraction.

"Get out on the water with one of the town’s sailing experiences, join a chartered fishing excursion or just watch the world go by with a pint from one of the wonky-fronted old pubs."

It also recommends trying out the Lymington Seafood Festival which takes place in August, where "jazz and blues meet fresh seafood cooked up by top chefs".
