This 1970s photograph shows a beach turned into a temporary car park, with rows of family saloons, estates, vans and campers parked directly on the sand beside the sea. The scene is packed with period detail, from everyday British cars and a red camper van to the circular 15 mph speed limit sign standing near the foreground, while holidaymakers walk between the parked vehicles and the shoreline. What makes the image especially striking is the sheer informality of it all: cars are not tucked away in a distant car park but lined up right beside the beach, becoming part of the holiday scene itself. More than just a motoring photograph, it captures a very different era of British seaside life, when driving onto the beach and spending the day among parked cars, picnics and swimmers was still an ordinary summer sight.
