Re: Seaside memories

Fish & chips sat on the beach. Christchurch is near Bournemouth which has a beach which is chocka-block in the summer but there are smaller beaches between Bournemouth & the New Forest. Cornwall is a great area to holiday - we went to Hayle St Towans near St Ives every summer in the 70's as a colleague at work let Dad take us all to stay in his holiday home - we would go to Perranporth beach most days in Cornwall:

Re: Seaside memories

I don't know why but the Seaside always seemed more for as a kid/younger adult with too many great memories etc

To name but just a few many great memories would be right through from Sandcastles on the beach to Rides on Boats in Boating Lakes and Mazes. Great days indeed

Re: Seaside memories

Scarborough, Whitby, Bridlington or Blackpool were our haunts.

I live pretty much dead central between east and west coast so it could go either way, was mainly the east coast though, great places every one of em.

Re: Seaside memories

Botany Bay in Broadstairs, Margate. Spent all my summer holidays as a nipper in the 70's in that part of the world.

My parents took us all to France and the Spain from 1980 onwards but those holidays in Margate were magical. The chalk cliffs down there had tunnels burrowed into them that me and my brother would explore (reckless 70's childhood).

Getting sand in my sandwiches (how ironic) which made them crunchy :cry: but then have an ice cream from the hut in the afternoon (normally a Lyons Maid Haunted House).

Playing Crazy golf and the penny shove machines in Margate. Summers then were just fantastic

Re: Seaside memories

It seems I am on my own on this one, in that I have NEVER had a seaside holiday. As Blackpool is my home town that is probably not surprising lol. Even tho I now live on the Costa del Sol a day in Alicante or Benidorm seems like an awful day out. Drunken holiday makers...rip off prices...ten deep at the bar ( both here and in Blackpool ). I live in the mountains about 25 miles from Alicante and the coast, and as a former SandGrown'un ( local slang for being brought up in Blackpool ) the peace and quiet is beautiful !! When I do go back to UK, a quiet week in a hired boat fishing on the Norfolk Broads wins every time for me.
