For the millions of UK residents who live and work in the city, dreams of the seaside are often reserved solely for the summer holidays - but it doesn’t just have to be this way. As the world turns towards hybrid working, only internet connection stands in the way for those who are able to work remotely - and there are numerous benefits to choosing a workstation by the sea. For one, people who live within 5km of the British coastline rated their physical and mental health better than those who lived in-land; living even closer (within 1km) means you’re also more likely to exercise regularly. In fact, just having a view of the sea has been linked to improved heart rates and better mood regulation. So with this in mind, why not take a tour of some of the coastal locations we have on offer?

 

 

 

Located just a stone’s throw from Torquay Harbour, this flexible workspace definitely delivers on those all important sea views. As well as being all set up with super fast wifi, private meeting room access, and plenty of desk space, their unique location on the harbour means you can easily take a long lunch break to go paddleboarding! They also host a number of events, especially around Christmas, so more of a reason to keep them in mind for a visit outside of the summer months.

 

 

 

On the other side of the harbour you’ll find Quay Space - much like Harbour Studios, they also provide great access to the water. But what we love about this space is their private workbooths, ideal for anyone really wanting to get their head down before heading out to appreciate those sea views.

 

 

 

If you wanted to head down even further south, Penzance in Cornwall is the place for you - in fact, this is our southernmost space in the UK! Workbox is all about promoting collaboration and hard work; but when you’re not busy working, why not enjoy their riverside garden with a coffee made at their barista coffee station?

 

 

Well yes, this one isn’t technically the seaside, but with Windermere being the largest lake in England we think you’ll still feel all of those water-related benefits. And located just off the water’s edge, Windermere Manor has all of the working facilities you could possibly need - plus, it’s also a hotel, so why not sort your accommodation and office in one?

 

If any of these locations have got you itching for a workation, remember you can easily book in with them via NearU, available on App Store and Google Play.
