    I saw some cool beach huts in Eastbourne this weekend. I like your list so far, I think I'd like some binoculars for looking at ships on the horizon and a telescope for looking at the stars at night time - a rubber ring for bobbing in the sea too :d

    Hmm :chin: ......

    My list would probably be similar to yours. I'd definitely need to bring my iPad, I can't live with out it - music, Internet, and everything in one :) I'd need my camera to take pictures of the beautiful sea, my mindfulness colouring book and pens/pencils. Also I'd probably bring my dogs with me, I love watching them play in the sand/ sea when I go to the beach :)

    Ohhhh sounds like a nice idea Jo, would be lovely to watch the stars on the beach!

    Unfortunately I don't live within walking distance of a beach, but I absolutely love it! I've been on lots of caravan holidays with my family, I loved walking alongside the beach every day I was there, I found it so relaxing! I love of the sound of waves :)

    Definitely books and a really comfy chair!
    Then towel and bikini, sunscreen etc.
    Maybe a camera if it's really pretty!

    Do you know some of these beach huts can cost as much as £8,000 depending on size? Last year in Ferring (nr Worthing) a large beach hut exchanged hands for nigh on £12K! :eek:

    @Past User I'm the same with my iPad, can't do without it. I'd love to go to sleep... to the sound of the sea.

    I love looking at stars :heart: I'd definitely take some art materials - imagine the gorgeous views I could draw! I'd take a few of my favourite books with me and my notepad/pen.

    My familly used to own a beach hut at Mudeford. Proper live in jobby. No electric, or running water, just gas. Holidaying there used to beat many of the holidays we had abroad.
