Beach huts add a drop of colour to the British seaside.

On sunny days, folks gather outside to enjoy sea views.

When the weather is foul, there's no better place to be but inside with a drink.

Chairperson of a beach hut owners' association, Melanie Whitehead shows us round her beach hut.

Melanie believes Covid-19 has impacted the cost of beach huts.

More people have been opting for staycations.

Beach huts now fetch almost £40,000 whereas ten years ago, they cost just a quarter of that amount.

Sarah Stimson makes a living renting out beach huts.

She offers holidaymakers an opportunity to experience this seaside tradition without having to break the bank.

In her view, the cost could be attributed to something else.

Sarah explains that these colourful, little dens by the sea are quite appealing.

This could stem in part from fond memories of a childhood toy.
