The Golden Sands were of course only exposed at low tide beyond the shingle, but as a name for the beach it was a winner, combined with plentiful parking on the greensward behind the beach huts.
Steps from the Highcliffe
(right) descend to the
beach at North Swanage,
beyond the promenade
(upper centre) where the
cliffs are skirted by beach
huts.
The beach is packed
with visitors and day-
trippers from St Austell,
while in the foreground
children and their parents
are model boating and
fishing around the rock
pools.
Most
folk, however, came to enjoy
the beach, which offered
the simple charms of beach
huts and occasional donkey
rides, and was far less
crowded than its neighbours
at Cromer and Sheringham
It is a busy beach in the Swinging Sixties: these people
are not day trippers to Heysham, but guests of Middleton
Towers who have made their way to the beach for a day of
free activity and entertainment
