Sandy Bay is Littleham's beach, offering some of the finest bathing on the East Devon coast.
East Runton offered visitors the same spectacular cliff scenery and ample beaches as its close neighbour, Cromer, but less of the noise and bustle.
Neither the promenade nor the gardens by it have been built, and the stone facing of the railway embankment slopes right down to the beach.
The beach is one of the nearest to Cardiff and was very popular with parents and young chiuldren and those who thought Penarth too commercialised.
Courtenay Terrace is the only group of houses which had gardens backing onto the beach.
Here we can see the pebble beach.
Early visitors faced a long climb to Babbacombe after a day on the beaches, but in the 1920s a cliff railway - still in use today - was built, making the journey much easier.
The wide, low-lying, sandy beach here was formed by structural faults.
The famous steps to the beach are visible on the right.The bandstand is in the centre on the cliff top, and the Grand Hotel is on the left.

This view shows Eype in the days before it was invaded by caravans and too many vehicles, though, as can be seen by the parked cars, some people had already discovered the delights of the beach at Eype
During World War II the whole beach was covered in obstacles and coils of barbed wire to help prevent an invasion.
There are several pleasant gardens around Weymouth for those who tire of their day on the beach.
Mothers and children paddle in the sandy pools of Towan Beach.
Boats are drawn up on the beach under the walls of the fishing township, and their nets are drying on the rails beside the slipways.
Something really fascinates a crowd of very curious beach-goers - not just a landing of fish.
The new buildiing was built into the river over the beach.
Low tide has joined together all the sandy beaches in the background, with Tolcarne, Great Western and Towan seen from left to right.
Paignton's beaches and coves give a combined sea-frontage of over two miles; this led to the growth of the town's satellite villages of Preston and Goodrington.
The small coves between, such as the beach below Burton Bradstock, would be used mostly by local fishermen and smugglers.
The stretch of water between and Shaldon's sandy beaches are crammed with boats of every description.
An ice cream and chocolate seller is surrounded by customers on the beach.
This road still exists and leads to Porthmeor Beach and to today's St Ives Tate Gallery.
Mevagissey's steep, winding streets and alleys, cobbled with beach stone, formed a useful maze in which smugglers could escape the attentions of the revenue men.
