Let's go to the seaside...

Elouera beach, Sydney
When I think of the UK, beaches are not the first thing that come to mind. I see culture, countryside, history and old towns. I know it does have beaches, and I have been to Brighton, but it's simply not the first things that pops into my head.

Beach Hut Life (BHL) have asked me to share a cool infographic about some of the UKs seaside destinations and some foodie options, both posh and nosh*. So, as it is slowly warming up in the UK and, in keeping with my urge to explore more of London and the UK, I figure, why not explore its beaches this year? Anyone interested in joining me in checking out some of these seaside towns and eats? Drop me an email ;)

Usually, beaches remind me of home. Long sandy beaches and coastal walks to find hidden bays, but I'm keen to learn more about the UK traditions of going to the seaside. For me, food plays a big part of my tradition of a day by the sea. In Sydney, no visit to the beach is complete, without fish and chips wrapped in butchers paper and eaten over looking the water while fighting off hungry, hovering seagulls.

However, having a look at some of the seaside foodie options in the UK, I'm a little stumped...Whelk? Dressed crab? All I know of "Whelk" is that Harry Potter's aunt Marge ate a funny one in the first book.

What do you usually go for when at the beach?

*Note: while BHL have asked me to share this infographic, I have not been comped, I just like helping out new companies, and why not one that promotes those iconic beach huts?
