As summer draws to a close for another year, hopefully many of us will be able to look back on happy holiday memories from the past few months.
Many of those memories will revolve around the seaside, whether that is North Yorkshire’s gorgeous coastline or elsewhere.
One thing is clear, the lure of sea and sand is eternal. We have always liked to beside the seaside.
