As a lad, in the fifties after Sunday lunch, my father would drive my mother, my two sisters and I to Seasalter. The beach was made up of pebbles and shells, not as comfortable as the sandy beaches further into Kent, on the other hand ...Read more

Walks
Growing up in Hope Cove I often walked across the cliifs to Thurlestone Bay, with Kim our Border Collie and every time the view over the vast beach and that magical rock with a hole in it, never ceased to amaze me.

Barricane Beach is behind the camera, and we see the broad expanse of Woolacombe sands stretching away south towards Croyde.
Beach facilities comprise clusters of bathing tents and unfolded wood and canvas deckchairs.
This photograph shows Marine Parade and its beach- tents, between Langmoor Gardens (top left) and the 1922-built Bay Private Hotel (centre).
As larger harbours were built, both Swanbridge and Sully ceased to be used as ports, but with the advent of cheap rail travel they became holiday beaches for day trippers from Cardiff and the surrounding
Beach vendors stands are offering tea, crisps and toffee apples. In the centre, in line with the Marine Hotel, a hut carries the sign 'Lost Children' - always a possibility at the seaside!
Par Beach is seen at low tide with the china clay port of Par in the background.
The beach at Charmouth is a mecca for geologists and fossil hunters, and explanatory walks take place from the heritage centre by the mouth of the Char.
A magician entertains a crowd of well dressed Victorian holidaymakers on the beach.
The bay, with its wide sandy beach, was almost certainly the landing place of the Danish brothers Hengist and Horsa, who came to Britain in 449AD to fight for the British king Vortigern against the
The breakwaters have gone and the sea wall has been rebuilt, but most of the beach huts remain, with quaint names like Dolly's Den, Molly's and Sand Lea.
Although best known for its pebbled surface, low tide exposes a fair stretch of sand on Penarth Beach.
The much loved and heavily patronised refreshment kiosk was an obligatory port of call for all families enjoying a day out at the beach.

The Walls ice-cream delivery van (bottom left) is beside beach kiosks and a 1910-built shelter, to which a clock was added in 1953, to commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
The eastern end of Hastings beach beside the RNLI lifeboat house is known as the 'Stade'- Saxon for 'landing place'; here the fleet of about 40 fishing boats are still winched up onto the shingle.
Old fishing boats, some decommissioned, are beached on the foreshore on the Lelant side of the estuary.
