Within urban and tourism studies, although much research has focused on uneven city prosperity and competitiveness, little is known about factors influencing seaside town economic performance. We adopt a place-based approach to understand its determinants amongst 58 of England's largest seaside towns drawing on a bespoke database. Through Partial Least Square analysis, Spearman's Rank Correlation and general linear regression modelling for panel data with random effects, we identify the 'leaders' and 'laggers' along with a set of associated socio-economic characteristics. These insights enhance understanding of how and why economic performance differs amongst these towns. We highlight implications for addressing such socio-economic disparities across seaside towns, which has wider destination relevance, and use these findings to inform policy which seeks to raise the productivity potential of 'lagging' towns.
