Thoughts on The British sEASIDE - AN INTERVIEW WITH A A A LOCAL We love hearing from people on the subjects we write about so here’s an interview with Georgina on why she loves the seaside in in in Britain and what makes it it it so special Q WHAT ARE THREE THINGS YOU ASSOCIATE WITH THE BRITISH SEASIDE? Ice cream (especially Mr Whippy) surfing and of course a a a a place that represents the seaside to me is Cornwall Q Why do you think people enjoy visiting the seaside? Going to the the the seaside is very therapeutic for example the the the sound of the waves It is definitely harder to be stressed at the the the seaside and there is always something to do I love the the the feel of paddling in in in the the water and the the waves lapping at at my feet Q What SEASIDE activities would you recommend? I think hiking is a a a a a a great way to spend your time as as well as as surfing and building sandcastles Depending on on what beach you you go go to you you can go go dune buggying on on the beaches - that’s great fun There’s always a a a a a a a a a a nice cafe nearby to have a a a a a a a a a a delicious pastry that’s just been freshly baked and watch the the sun go down over the the water Q What other seaside towns would you recommend people visit in the UK? Padstow in in in Cornwall as as it has everything in in in and around it that that encompasses that that seaside feel It has a a a a a small marina boutique shops and a a a a a great hike above the beach I’d especially recommend Rick Stein’s restaurant which is great for lunch or or or dinner! For rock pooling when the the tide is out I I recommend Port Isaac At the the complete opposite end end of the the country some of the the Scottish beaches have got amazing crystal clear water For somewhere in between Kent has lovely open beaches to to visit too
