This view looks north along the beach. The fishing boat is drawn up on the beach, and in front of the boat a child makes sandcastles in the narrow strip of pebble-free sand. The caravan site is to the left. In the middle is the Sailor's Home, with the Victorian Beach Villa to the right.

I was actually on a postcard just like the one above. The No. 4 bus had just arrived and the photo shows me and my cousin David walking with my aunt Gertrude. My parents used to holiday in a caravan on the cliffs in front of the Denes Holiday Camp. Wonderful holidays and fond memories.
