just_ruth asked what is my favourite seaside or beach

I think that would have to be Colwell Bay on the Isle of Wight.  It's a five minute walk from my parents' house and it's classed as one of the best beaches on the Island.  In the Summer, it gets busy enough to have lots of atmosphere, but having only a handful of small cafes and bars, it's not tacky and naff as a lot of the larger, more touristy seaside resorts around the UK are.

A couple of pictures taken at quieter times:

And then to the west, all the way round the bay out to the Victorian fort, Fort Albert on the far headland.

Gorgeous beach, and great that it's so near your parents.

It really is such a short walk. Barry and I have had many a seafront dinner there!
