West End Pier

Happy Holidays
My Aunty had a house right on the dunes. We stayed with her every summer until I was about 16 or 17 and a lot of our time was spent on the beach. When the tide went out there was sand beyond the shingle and we used to spend ...Read more

Speedboat
My dad used to drive the speedboat, I used to go for rides as a child, it used to seem so fast. All the holiday makers used to scream, it was great fun. I used to help with the beach ponies and donkeys in the summer holidays. Has anyone got any memories to share?

Summer 1967
When I was three or four years old I visited Cawsand for a family holiday. I remember it very clearly because, for various reasons, it was the only holiday we all went on together. I am hoping someone might be able to solve an on-going ...Read more

Lovely Stoke Fleming

A view looking south round the sweep of the bay to the little harbour, once used by the mail boats to Portpatrick in Wigtownshire. Boats are drawn up on the pebbled beach, where girls are playing.
A row of drifters settled on the South Beach. The sheer volume of boats of all shapes and sizes is staggering. Again, the east coast herring fishing boats are prominent.
Whitehead is a popular resort and the pebble beach is much in evidence in this view looking round to Black Head. A little girl is playing among the rocks. Note the refreshment room behind the hotel.
Where have all the donkeys gone? Once a common sight on the beaches of the south-west, they have long since disappeared.
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.
Margate's famous Jubilee clock tower is prominent in this picture of the beach.
A wide variety of wildlife and plants are to be found around the undercliff. This family has the beach all to themselves; what are they searching for? Perhaps crabs or small fish left by the tide.
In this view of Marske beach, with the distinctive cliffs of Huntcliffe in the distance, there appears to be some form of camp being held on the sands with a row of distinctive wigwam-like

Children play at the south end of the beach. Beyond them is the headland on which the Borth war memorial was built after the First World War.

Bathing is possible along some of the beaches at Cowes, particularly at Gurnard Bay. However, the currents are strong and the shoreline shelves steeply.
