For over 160 years or so, the humble beach hut has been part of the British coastline.
They make beach goers’ lives more convenient. Especially on a hot, balmy day, there’s nothing better than having your own piece of changing room, kitchen, relaxing area, storage facility all rolled into one.
And these days it seems everyone wants one, but getting your hands on one could prove a challenge since they are in very short supply.
But just how many of them are there and where can you find them?
I’ve included a map that shows beach hut locations across the country for anyone who might find this useful in their beach hut search. It’s a work in progress and I’ll be adding more locations in the future.
The approximate location of each beach hut cluster is marked with a gold pin and can be clearly seen on the map.
