The Beach In Autumn.

Contrary to popular belief we have some really lovely beaches in England.
I've just come back from a break in one of our towns on the east coast, and the beach has a charm all of it's own at this time of year.
The vast expanse of golden sand was deserted apart from the occasional person walking their dog, and a couple of fishermen.
I didn't actually go onto the sand but had a couple of very enjoyable walks along the promenade.
I was lucky with the weather as the sun was out - weak, but it was there. It made me feel good to be alive.
Do you like the seaside 'out of season' ?

No matter what beach there is, regardless of any reviews people may have, the beach itself never disappoints. I'm always in awe how such a big beautiful body of water could even exist as it does! As our weather is pretty mild all year 'round, we can go to the beach almost anytime - for us it's only about a half hour drive away. Sounds like you had a most lovely time!

I chose to go to Goa in the rains surely an out of the season experience. The beaches there were washed out and clean and there was greenery all round.

@jaboUK We were at a tea stall I remember and it was fun watching those on the beach getting drenched. They did not run away but enjoyed the rain.

@allknowing That sounds good, but I'd rather it didn't rain when I'm on a beach

When I was real small dad kept getting orders for new bases here and there so we'd be on the road a lot @jaboUK then after he was stationed here our vacations were usually spent in the outskirts of Dallas with his parents but only when he was in the states, dad served in Korea and then in the late 60s he was in Okinawa.
It's well over 700 miles to a beach in any direction from here so I only went once as a kid when mom took us back in 1963 and the second time I went I was about 25 or so.

Yes no matter what time of the year I will, when near a beach, take a walk.

Beaches are always attractive and I love to go to a beach. I live in a land locked city and there is no beach around my city. The nearest sea beach is some 800 Kms away from my city, therefore, it is always an exciting experience to visit a beach.

I never heard that the beaches are not lovely there. I would think being in the ilses it would have lots of beautiful beaches . I am more of a forest . land , and mountain lover myself. never was a great swimmer anyway.

@bunnybon7 We don't have any forests or mountains near us, but I love them too.

As a child, in elementary school, I wondered what it would be like to live in England. Now, it is too late, as I cannot fly in an airplane due, to claustrophobia and fear.
I envy you! :)

@Spontaneo I'd hate not to be able to fly - we are going to Spain in a plane on Tuesday, and we'll stay there for a month.

I live in a tropical country so almost any time is a good time to be at the beach. Except on rainy days, I suppose.

The seaside out of season is one of my favourite places. The best seaside I ever went to was on the Lincolnshire coast. Completely deserted, no toilets or food places, and a twenty minute walk to get there from the car park. Beautiful.

the beach nearest to where i live is several towns away and it takes more than 3 hours travel. i would like to be in a beach, but only watching the setting sun and playing with the sand.

@ridingbet You're quite a long way inland Ingrid - we can get to the sea in just over an hour.

@misunderstood_zombie Yes Pixabay has some great pics, and this is a lovely one. Are you far from the sea?
