Newquay, Cornwall, England.  It has a direct train to London, attracts badly-behaved young adults, there's complaints about badly overcrowded beaches . . . 

And you walk into the spiffy new Sainsbury's supermarket and the first thing you see, hiding the precious strawberries:

Short walk from Fistral Beach, which mostly had too much wind and mushy waves, up to about 6'.  Huge tidal range, very gently sloping beach.  I was taking meds for a small corneal ulcer.  Should have brought along a longer camera lens.
