What is it about the coastline of Britain that brings its visitors back year after year? What is it about the 6,000 miles of Rugged Cliffs, Sandy and Shingle Beaches, Estuaries, Sand Dunes and Rocky Shores that evokes such feelings of fond nostalgia at the mere mention of such names as: Southend, Bognor Regis, Scarborough and Blackpool? Maybe it's because these places take us back to our childhood; when summers were longer and hotter and every day was a new adventure, when seaside's and beaches were synonymous with deck chairs, whelks and fish and chips.

Today's modern seaside resorts are very different from those halcyon days. Every modern convenience is catered for; coastal resorts are better planned and equipped than they have ever been, whilst still retaining the old world charm that we have grown to love.
