10.The island of Great Britain being small (compare the size of Australia),the natural place for holiday relaxation and enjoyment is extensive coastline,above all its southern and eastern coasts,and the favorite resort of the mass-population of industrial Lancashire,is on the north-west coast.Distant and little-inhabited area like Northern Scotland,are too remote for the development of large seaside resorts.
For most children,going to the seaside suggests a week or fortnight of freedom on the beach,ideally a sandy one providing enough opportunities for the construction of sandcastle,fishing in pool,paddling in shallow water or swimming in deep water.Their parents spend sunny days swimming in the sea and sunbathing on the beach.Not that the British sun can be relied on and the depressing sight of families wandering round the town in old-fashioned and under umbrellas is only too common.However,there are always shops with their tourist souvenirs,plenty of cafes and if the worst comes to the worst,the cinema to offer a refuge.
The average family is unlikely to seek accommodation in a hotel as they can stay more cheaply in a boarding-house.There are usually three or four-storeyed Victorian buildings,whose owners spend the summer season letting rooms to a number of couples or families and providing three cooked meals a day at what they describe as a reasonable price,with the hope that in this way they will add enough to their savings to see the winter through.Otherwise there are the camping sites for those who prefer self-catering.
Nowadays,even when an increasing number of people fly off to Mediterranean resorts where a well-developed suntan (曬黑) can be assured,or explore in comfort Swiss lakes and mountains or romantic Italian or Spanish cities,the British seaside is still the main attraction for families,especially those with younger children.As they queue for boats trips,cups of tea or ice-cream under gray skies and in dizzling rain,the parents are reliving (重溫) their own childhood when time seemed endless,their own sandcastles the most splendid on the beach,the sea always blue and friendly and the sun always hot.
