This view shows Carbis Bay when it was still largely undeveloped, with just a scattering of houses above the cliffs overlooking the sandy beach.

Close to the point where the cliffs begin to rise from the beach at Southwold is the Sailor's Reading Room.
Here you can see the wide range of entertainment on offer on the beach. On the left, the tea tent was run by the Castle Coffee House, based in Castle Street.
The photographer has moved in closer to the beach to take this picture, although still concentrating on the same area as the former one.The Shrubbery Gardens, above the sun shelter, are well used
The timber-framed Tudor Moot Hall is situated next to the beach.
This is a remarkable view—not least because of the 'kreemy toffee' advertised on the left, showing that incorrect spelling has been used in advertising for many years.
Wildersmouth Bay was the original bathing beach of the town; those beaches to the west only became accessible after the drafting in of Welsh miners to dig the tunnels by which they are now reached.
Then, as now, the beach was popular with children, who here play at the water's edge whilst older boys admire the moored fishing boat.

The 'Droch' or Cave of Beauty is regarded as the finest at Lydstep Cavern Beach.
This photograph was taken from Gyllyngvase Beach. In the middle distance is Swanpool Point; hidden beyond it is Swanpool Beach, another favoured smuggling spot.

Sidmouth's pebbly beach has never deterred sea bathers and paddlers, though building sandcastles was a harder task.
