Seaside Holiday

A bright seaside holiday is a traditional British Holiday. During the Victorian times, people would be spending all day by the seaside while children watch a Punch and Judy show or take a ride on donkeys along the sea shore. The food traditionally enjoyed during seaside holidays are candy floss and a sweet treat known as rock.

Of course since they are spending all day near the sea, it's only natural that you'll see people frolicking in the water. Kids and adults alike spend their free time swimming in the sea. Some others are building sand castles.

In 1871, Bank Holidays were inaugurated which permitted the working people to enjoy a day by the coast. In 1938 a law was then introduced which gave everyone a paid holiday. Before, people were satisfied with staying on the seaside of their homeland, but now a vacation meant a trip to some other countries. Back then, towns near the sea were popular hot spots during the holidays. Many people visited Blackpool, Bournemouth, Bognor Regis, Scarborough, Skegness, and Southend during the holidays and these towns offers a variety of activities.
