N1508 Shoreline Hotel

On to another series of "very or incredibly hard to get to without a car" writeups, done with a driver - and indeed, this is hard enough to get to with a car, as drivers park extremely poorly to avoid paying for parking in the hotels carpark when visiting the adjoining beach; dumping their vehicles in the way anywhere and everywhere.

It was a reasonably nice day when visiting, so the hotel bar was extremely busy - there were no fully free tables indoors or out, but we were invited to sit at an underoccupied table outside by the others at it. The hotels outdoor area has a coffee cart, for the huge number of drivers presumably; and there were musicians setting up as we were leaving; a rarer thing for a non-city-centre hotel bar to have.

There are easier to get to places to have a drink by the sea, but they are also generally even busier than here; and may attract anti-social behaviour. So perhaps it would be worth getting a driver and battling the parking disasters to come by for a pint.
