Best Affordable Beach Resorts

Gurnard’s Head
United Kingdom, $147

On Cornwall’s rugged coast, the brightly painted Gurnard’s Head is situated along the ancient pilgrims’ route to Land’s End. Rooms are rustic in feel: wool blankets draped over beds, old books on the nightstands, and bathrooms stocked with locally made soaps. Downstairs, the wood-beamed bar pours pints of local ale and the restaurant sources ingredients daily: hedgerow salad, wild mushrooms, and hand-harvested scallops.

Don’t Miss: A picnic lunch on the secret beach below the hotel.
