These were built to be sold on a leasehold basis, but they have not proved popular, it seems. They are not close to any amenities or the town centre. I believe they cost over £40,000 each when they were initially marketed. I have only seen a couple with any signs of occupation. The dark upright on the second from this end is a tube, into which a parasol can be fitted.

These beach huts are taken from the beach in the autumn and stored in a more sheltered location until the spring.

The way these umbrellas are positioned I guess that they are windbreaks rather than parasols. They appear to be pegged down. I think that it was mid morning when we visited so that may explain why the beach looks deserted.
