My two coastal towns that I have visited are Gosport and Ocean Village one for football and the other for shopping.
Similarities
Gosport and Ocean Village are both in Hampshire, and are popular tourist attractions because in Gosport there is the tower of spinnaker. But in Ocean Village people go to sail their boats and go to the hotels and restaurants around there.They are both in a city where there is a football team ,so they are very busy on weekends. Because of their restaurants and are visited by travelling fans. The two towns both have rivers.
Differences
Gosports river is highly used for transport for goods for Hampshire and gives goods away. But in Ocean Village the river is used for people to sail. Gosport is in Portsmouth and Ocean Village is in Southampton.
