Everyone loves Cornwall. The beaches, the pasties, the surf. But is it the sunniest? Not quite.
Cornwall gets plenty of sunshine—around 1,600 hours a year—but it’s also a cloud magnet. Those beautiful waves come with a side of drizzle sometimes.
Don’t get me wrong: on a clear day, Cornwall is blinding. But for consistent sunshine, the South Coast steals the show.

The Wild Card: East Anglia
Here’s a curveball for you. Norfolk and Suffolk are surprisingly sunny. They’re flat, open, and don’t have mountains to block the light.
Cromer, Lowestoft, and the Norfolk Broads get a solid dose of rays. It’s not as flashy as the south coast, but it’s a quiet contender.
If you’re into glacial speed sunbathing (because the wind is brutal), East Anglia is your place. Bring a windbreaker and a hat.
