This site is close to a sand and shingle beach. Roof racks were frequently used to carry extra camping
Busy with vendors and visitors and strewn with small boats and sailing craft, Southsea's beach is alive with activity in this Victorian photograph.
The greatest attraction of Perranporth is its extensive beach of golden sand backed by dunes.
Only five minutes from the beach, they are on the coast road which used to be known as the King's Highway - this was a 15th-century common way or track to the local villages.
The cliff line of Dorset breaks to give access to a small cove and the village of Burton Bradstock, with the River Bride gurgling away to the end of Chesil Beach.
The sand-dunes along the east coast of Norfolk can rise to heights of ten metres or more, making access to the beautiful sandy beaches relatively difficult.
These superior chalets are on the sand-dunes above the beach; as estates like this are privately-owned, the roads are usually not made up.
The huts beyond show the popularity of this part of the island for bathing; there are pleasant stretches of sand among the shingle of the beach.
West Pentire can be seen beyond the beach.
The small coves between, such as the beach below Burton Bradstock, would be used mostly by local fishermen and smugglers.
Ice cream and tea are for sale further along the beach. The stall in the centre seems to be selling bottled drinks and perhaps biscuits.
Less than a century after its foundation, the town was already dominating the skyline and its beaches were among the most crowded on the south coast.
Chesil Beach is a great ridge of shingle eight miles long with a lagoon of brackish water between it and the mainland.
In the distance, under a mile away, is Ireland's Eye, a small rocky island with an excellent beach and the ruins of the sixth century St Nessan's Abbey.
The beach is still serviced by a cafe, and a passenger ferry crosses to Padstow at suitable tides.
It boasted four tea-rooms just inland from the beach - they are visible on the right fork of the road in this picture.
Tennis courts, a café and beach huts are situated on the sands reclaimed from the sea beneath the cliffs; down them the steep access lane descends to the Riviera Club.
This schooner may well have been unloading limestone, which was shipped from South Wales to be fired in the lime-kiln that still stands at the side of the beach.
writer noted that 'entrance to the Chine is through a bazaar, where one must either make a purchase or pay sixpence before he descends to this great chasm, echoing the ocean waves that break on the beach
More Americans died training here than were killed on Utah Beach on D-Day.
The beach is shingly, but the bathing is safe. There are a number of excellent country walks in the area, many of them boasting wonderful views across to the Isle of Wight.
Street furniture is changing with the introduction of the ugly concrete street lamp post outside the timber- framed building that was Beach's bookshop.There is a striking coat of arms high up
On Swanage's mixed bathing beach tents were provided for changing and preserving the modesty of visitors.
