Found some hidden gems there, thing is I never take note.
Same when I go on road trips elsewhere, I think 'This is great' but cannot recall where it was - when telling the story to other people.
Yes, but it's the seaside! Took my old MK2 Escort on the beach in the mid 80s, no charge, was a challenge to see the sea. I imagine those days of taking a vehicle and driving it on the beach there are well over.

I've been in a class 390 galley, it had 2 microwaves and one small convection oven.
