Margate beach is lovely, just don’t turn around and look at the town
Do you go to the seaside any more?

I was told Margate was the most up and coming Town in Kent?… by a young QS who has just moved there

I have a house outside Sandbanks - 15 minutes away.
I don't need to use the Ferry to the beach hut
It takes 15 minutes to get there
Who goes to Bournemouth town centre, it's a dump
Our Beach hut is at Canford Cliffs a suburb of Poole / Sandbanks area.
What's not to like for me

Went there a couple of times in relation to my work about 10 years ago, before it had its own TV show.
It is an interesting place. Interesting in the Chinese way.
I didn't explore the beach.

I've got two beach huts in my garden.
Trouble is, they are about as far away from the sea as you can get in this country.

Another crap town nice beach place is Newbiggin by the sea, town had about as much charm as a Glaswegian housing scheme but the beach is great.

I lived in Ilfracombe for a short while a good few years ago. I used the liberal club as my local as it was nearest to where I lived and had the best snooker tables.
I played cricket for Ilfracombe as well.
Ha ha, that's about right. We take our dog for a walk there sometimes. Park in the main car park, walk along the front until you reach the end. It's a nice walk, good promenade, beach and some nice houses looking out to sea. The town though is grim, desperately in need of improvement. Can't argue with your description

The Wife went with the youngest daughter and grand daughter to Whitstable today. She said it was lovely and had a great time.
I think we need to reinforce the thought that British beaches are rubbish, we don't want them crowded.

Yes, Rhossili is rubbish. That must be why it is never crowded. Please don't bother going there anyone.
We hate whitstable - such a dump

I get the point. Stated twice that the beach hut and house are within 15 minutes, but how long in the traffic?I have a house outside Sandbanks - 15 minutes away.

You have also implied the hut is more Poole than Sandbanks.
Do you have to pay council tax on it?
These huts don't come cheap. Mudeford is not far away.
The unique reason this Dorset beach hut is on sale for £450k
A BEACH hut on Mudeford Sandbank has gone up for sale for £450,000 - the same price as a four bed house in many parts of the country.

I live in Poole, Sandbanks goes from Bournemouth Pier to Shore Road Poole, same long stretch of beach, about 4 miles long, beach huts all the way along it. Our beach hut is approx 50% of the way along so helps as lazy people hang round either end however there are 3 car parks near it, one at the front, one at the library and a massive one behind the beach. Always room at 1 of them even on the busiest day. It is a 15 minute drive to the beach hut from my house, we go through liliputt rather than the main sandbanks penisula meaning very little delay, of course mid summer if you insist on driving to the main car park in the centre of sandbanks it will be busy, just like trying to drive to the centre of London but there is never any reason to do this ever.I get the point.

It's about the same size as my garden shed, worth about £25.

We pay £1,000 a year for the beach hut, split between the 5 kids so £200 each and a real bargain
Here is a picture from the cliff above where our beach hut is.

Brother-in-Law and wife lived in Lilliput late 1980s. Pretty sure I walked past your hut a few times. Nice spot - well done!
