...how times have changed...
I remember in the 1950's and 1960's, I used to take my family in my Motor-cycle Combination to many Sea-side places in my area, and in many places there were only a handful of people on the sands and the Promenade...plenty of room!
...even during the ride there and back, we only met a handful of cars, (Ford Prefects and Anglia's, Austin 7's), etc, on the journey!
A nice, gentle cruise.
Nowadays, the traffic is horrendous, and the Sea-sides are heaving with Tourists....having found all my previous secret, sandy places.......!
I am frightened, like the rest of my Motorcyclist Mates, to park my Bike at the Sea-side now, in case it gets "pinched", kicked, or knocked over/flattened by an errant Motorist/Van driver...
Not much fun on the roads...and Sea-sides, nowadays......!
What a shame...!
F.... 8-)...!
The same problem with Sea-side Camping Sites....no more 50 pence per night in a Tent, like in the "olden days"...
I figured as much when Doug mentioned that the old quarter was now luxury housing... it's the same everywhere. Even little San Diego now has 7 million (yes, million)-dollar studio apartments downtown...
But there still seems to be elbow room and cheap land in Mexico...
At least Shoreham Beach is still pretty easy on the eyes... nice photos.
