Monday was warm for England (mid 70s) so Laura and I took the train to the beach. It was a two hour ride south from London's Waterloo station.
We heard that most of the beaches in England are rocky beaches; this is one of the few sandy beaches.
It reminded us a little of Santa Cruz, on a very small scale. Laura noticed this booth right off.; we didn't test for authenticity though.
We took a walk on the pier, saw some beach huts... so English,
and went in the water. It was a little cold at first... but it didn't take Laura long to get waste deep in the English Channel!
