I’m not saying I still get a childlike pleasure from a day trip to the coast, but one of my most exciting purchases in recent times has been the collapsible beach trolley in which we load all the paraphernalia needed for a first class time on the sands. It’s a game-changer!
Instead of strapping a bodyboard and rucksack to my bag whilst also trying to hold a wind break under one arm and a picnic hamper in the other hand, like some modern day version of the kids’ game Buckaroo – prone to collapse at any minute – everything now goes into my swish new trolley and off we go. It’s also very handy for lugging tired grandchildren back to the car at the end of a long beach day.
And a long beach day is, in my view, a successful beach day. There’s truly nothing better than setting up on the sands early in the morning and still being there as the sun sets. That feeling of sun-kissed, windblown, salt-skinned bliss takes me right back to the best days of my childhood.
I’m imagining as a reader of Coast you like a good day out at the beach too, so please revel in our selection this month of just a few special ways we recommend spending some time at the coast. I’d love to hear your suggestions too.
For as I am sure we can all agree, going to the coast for the day is all about making memories for the times when we are stuck at work, or somewhere rather tedious we really don’t want to be when, just for a moment, we can transport our minds back to the sights and sounds of the seaside.
Until next time…and enjoy the magazine.
