We do love to be beside the seaside\u2026<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What do you think of when you think of British beaches?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Enduring images of multi-coloured beach huts, striped sun loungers, arcades, promenades with piers at the end & old-fashioned ice cream vans spring to mind.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

While these are still very much present on many UK beaches, there is much more to British beaches today than just knotted hankies and deck chairs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
