You’ve probably been to Spring-on-Sea. In summer, you probably wonder around the apricot trees whilst they dance. When you came, there would have been ice-cream, chairs for your family and rocks to explore. You probably got to go in the arcades. It’s that kind of place… In summer!

But in winter, you probably hear the howling wind in the rainy, grey sky and taste the bitter rain. You should try being there when it snows, but you may freeze and your fingers may get numb. You should try being there when the sea turns into an ice rink. Few people visit in winter. Even locals keep away from the beach… and some say, they have good reasons.
