WHERE THE COOL AND THE SENSIBLE ARE PERFECTLY BALANCED , ACHIEVING A LAID BACK AIR OF SUPERIORITY BACKED BY OCEAN VISTAS AND A THRIVING HIGHSTREET .
Heralded by The Times as one of the best places to live in the UK for no less than three years in a row , the Georgian fishing town of Deal is well and truly flourishing after having emerged from a long , sleepy chrysalis . In its post Victorian years , Deal was for a time known as a quiet coastal spot , left forgotten and slightly desolate after the closure of its Royal Marine Barracks ( now converted into gorgeous seaview apartments ) and the nearby Kent coalfields . But shaking itself out of this bleary period of dormancy , Deal chose to follow in the wake of its coastal Kent cousins , transitioning into a cool beachy hotspot perfect for soirees by the sea and dreamy staycations under the Kentish sun . Unlike those loud and lairy cousins that lead the way back to being put on the map , Deal instead took a more sophisticated , sedate route when it came to achieving its stylish label .
