Beach Huts

The Beach hut!  A glorious part of the British seaside in all their myriad colours and styles.  They are a real opportunity to parade your personality if you so feel so inclined, you can paint or add quirky additions to your little piece of beachside property.
But the inside is always an enigma to me as if one is actually open, it feels wrong to brazenly gawp inside to see what mysteries go on!

Thus, I just have to lustily admire the exterior views.

Here are pictures of some of the beauties I saw at the beach in Felixstowe, Suffolk.
A set of pastel pretties with some delicate scalloping detail adorning that middle minty one.

Y knot, with its glorious stripes is festooned with a mosaic name.
This blue and white stripy one enjoys a dolphin!
A collection of blues and a rather splendid stripy one.

3 way stripes, more scalloping with contrasting door and some more bright shades.
Ah, this one is especially decorative with its extended roof shape, stripes, piping AND scalloping!
Grandma's Little House is wrapped up warmly for those sea breezes.
Although looking rather more rustic, the bright shades make up for slightly tatty paint work.
All the blues.

All the blues and purples.
This takes scalloping to a whole new level- we have almost waves!
A real variety in this row.
Do you spy the tiny ice-cream on this tasty-looking beach hut?

  1. We have a lot of beach huts here in Hove. I would love one but they cost nearly as much as a house, lol

  2. I love the way each one has had the owner's individuality stamped upon it.

  3. What a great collection! I don't think I've ever been to a beach that has beach huts.

  4. My favorite is Grandma's Little House. What are they like inside? I've never been to a beach that has beach huts. Our beaches have cottages.

  5. We have beaches here (cold beaches!), but I've never seen a hut outside of the internet/TV. What are they for??

    1. I was wondering the same thing. We don't have them here despite being surrounded by beaches.

  9. I love beach huts! The ones we have at the Belgian coast are generally not privately owned, but are rentals, each with their own distinctive decorative theme, mostly stripes in different colour combinations. And they usually have wheels like the old-fashioned bathing machines! xxx

  10. I also know nothing about beach huts. Do people do more than change clothes inside? Do they furnish them? So... some are rented, some are owned... but the beach property the huts are on is not part of the owned property, I assume? If you rent them, who is the landlord? Clearly, you need to do another post on beach huts :-)

  13. These beach hunts are beautiful. I must admit that British seaside I think of when I see these, although I've never been to Britain...I'm not sure do they have them anywhere else.

  14. No beach huts here in Australia that I know of, despite all our beaches.
    This is a splendid selection.
    All finials on houses should be ice creams!
