Beach Chalets
Hi The beach hut / chalet is just a base for your day at the seaside. They are part of the traditional British seaside and were once common in most seaside towns – often being owned or leased by the same families over generations. They are often brightly painted and surprisingly well kitted out. The only other place I can recall seeing any numbers as I envisage the “beach chalet” were in the south eastern beach suburbs of Melbourne, Australia – see lead photograph on my blog. https://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Victoria/Melbourne/blog-114199.html The humble British chalet is now making something of a comeback – even the North East’s Premier Seaside Resort aka Saltburn- by-the-Sea is relaunching new chalets on the bottom promenade – and they often change hands for a small fortune in the prosperous south. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/property/investment/9379464/Top-10-beach-huts-for-sale.html?frame=2268745 The beach huts in the photograph on this blog are towards Overstrand Beach, Cromer and I think they are all rented. However, even this can be expensive and a cold wind blowing in from the North Sea will render them unusable at least 6 months a year. http://www.edp24.co.uk/business/tourism/massive_hike_in_north_norfolk_beach_hut_fees_a_blow_to_families_and_traders_1_4423573
