Search is quickest when you know roughly what you want. When you do not, start here.
The search covers everything in the guide at once, and it reads more than the names: the facilities, the cuisine, the street and the neighbourhood of every place are all in the index. That means you can search for the thing you want rather than the thing it is called.
Everything in the guide is in one index: beaches, attractions and days out, all 477 restaurants, cafés, pubs and bars, hotels and places to stay, the events calendar, every neighbourhood and nearby town, our written guides and itineraries, the news, and the practical visitor information pages.
Yes. Facilities are indexed alongside names, so "dog friendly", "outdoor seating", "step free access", "vegan", "gluten free", "sea view" and "family" all return real results. So do cuisines: "italian", "indian", "thai", "seafood", "brunch".
The guide is written by hand, so it is thorough rather than exhaustive: a very new or very small place may not be in it yet. If you run it, you can add it free from the "list your business" page. If you are just looking for it, tell us what you searched for at the bottom of an empty result and we will look into covering it.
No. The search allows for a letter or two out of place, so "restarant", "boscomb" and "oceanaruim" all find what you meant. It also matches partial words, so "beach" finds "beaches" and "beachfront".
Use the filter chips above the results to keep only one kind of thing: places to visit, food and drink, places to stay, events, guides, areas or practical information. The count on each chip tells you how many results are in it before you press it.
Yes. The index is rebuilt from the live guide every few minutes, so a place, event or article added or corrected today is searchable today, without waiting for the site to be rebuilt.
