It is now replaced by an altogether more testing version as part of the Pleasure Beach complex.
Here, on a sunny 1950s summer's day, the shingle West Beach is crowded; in the distance is Southend and its pier. The view is now changed, with 1960s tower blocks of flats on the skyline.
Known today for its caravan parks and the long sandy beach of Black Rock sands, Morfa Bychan, just west of Porthmadog, was long celebrated for the story of Dafydd Garreg-Wen, the blind harpist, known for
Ladies were obliged to bathe nearer to the beach, and wore some sort of gown.
Here we look beyond the licensed donkey ride man, the helter-skelter and beach fun fair, the bathing machines and the booths towards the then splendid pier.
The Lincolnshire coast is well known for its sandy beaches, and Mablethorpe and Sutton on Sea are outstanding, as this photograph shows.
At the centre of the photograph a wooden slipway stands idle – this section of the beach is apparently deserted.
The magnificent beach at Rhosili, accessible only along narrow paths, and popular with swimmers and surfers, curves for 3 miles. The barque 'Helvetia' was wrecked here in 1877.
The village is at the north end of a magnificent two-mile long sandy beach. Until the 1800s this stretch of coast was remote, its splendours familiar only to Ilfracombe fishermen.

Built close to both the railway station and beach, it quickly became a successful family hotel.
Cars, motorbikes and sidecars are parked on the beach, whilst their owners clamber over the rocks or paddle in the sea.
A path leads from the tiny village across the fields to low cliffs above this quiet beach.

Most visitors come to take in the little glen and wishing well, though the hills around offer extensive views over Dorchester and Chesil Beach.
