The perfect day by the seaside includes friends, fish and chips – and the smell of fried doughnuts. A survey of 2,000 adults has painted a picture of exactly what goes into a joyful day out by the sea.
Watching the waves roll in, and boats bobbing in the harbour, were also named among the most enjoyable activities. While a stick of rock, a pot of cockles, and fish and chips wrapped in paper, are among people’s favourite seaside snacks.
And it’s even better with friends – as 67 per cent said a hearty coastal meal is the best way to bring everyone together beside the sea. It also emerged 45 per cent of those polled spend more time with their friends and family during the summer holidays.
