Great question!

Dad trying to get wind breaks to stay upright (especially in Norfolk!)

The thrill of rock pools

Awkward contortions getting changed under towels

Sand between toes putting shoes back on

Ice creams!!

Being scared of a crab pinching my toes in the sea (what a bedwetter)

Sea gulls trying to pinch my lunch

Getting a rash from playing with a pile of lobster shells

The spiny sharpness of that grass that grows in sand dunes

NO-ONE TELLING ME HOW FAR THE BEACH IS FROM THE CAR PARK AT HOLKHAM. Bastards.
