A budget might also be a help.

Thanks for your response,
I will be off from 7th to 13th April, I need to relax and enjoy in any place on the sea. I'm interested too in sightseeing. I will be alone. I wish this helps I'm currently in Aberdeen.
The budget around 400-500 £ will be ok.

Thanks for your responses.
I just finished my exams and need to relax. I'm alone. I wish to go to a place on the sea. I will take my vacation from 7-13 April. The budget is around 400-500 £. I'm currently in Aberdeen.
I have been before to London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow. So any other cities will be ok.

I wish this helps

Brighton, maybe? Someplace like the Grand Hotel or Hotel du Vin? You could buzz up to London easily if you want more stimulation.

stoke - i was thinking about Brighton as well but was put off by the length of the train journey.

However, the OP might find a cheap flight to Gatwick which would get him there very quickly.

For the sea and sightseeing, Jersey would be an option, Flybe fly from ABZ to Jersey weekly, but since it's Easter the flights might be full. Or Belfast, perhaps, with all the events going on during April.

Hmmmmm, This is a place I would like to go. I saw it on the travel channel. April may be a bit cool, there, though.

Yes, Cornwall can be lovely [but the comment about its being a bit cool in April is pretty accurate] but it's a looooong way from Aberdeen.

no time now, but the OP could look at flights into Newquay.

Newcastle is a great city to visit. Very popular and extremely friendly. Lots of beautiful coastal resorts are nearby and although everyone has a pre-conceived impression Newcastle does get good weather and has been very warm lately.
If you're travelling south from Aberdeen Bamburgh is a great stop over. Holy Island ( Lindisfarne) is a really interesting place to visit.
