The seaside holiday is a great British tradition dating back to the 1700s.
In the 1700's was when people started to believe that perhaps the 'seawater' was good medicine, they got this idea from the spa baths in places like Bath.
In the 1800's trains arrived, and in the norfolk coast there was efficient travel. This meant that rather than having to go by boat/horse and carriage, people could finally go by train cheaply for the day or for a holiday.
In the 1900's, campingin tents/caravans became a new popular accommodation, which has only got more popular since the first opening of a site in 1904.
In the 1950/60's activities were being introduced at the seaside. Punch and Judy, Buckets and spades, going in the sea etc. were finally becoming popular seaside activities.
In the 1970's was when more people started going abroad, however, the seaside still remains to be a very popular place for all. The coast line remains as beautiful as ever, and still attracts people for days out and holidays with the family.
