Oh, I do like to be...

Whether you jetted off to sunny Spain or cloudy Cornwall, hopefully most of you got a well-deserved seaside break this summer. This year, more than ever, what we've all yearned for is a day at the beach, to feel the sea air and the sand between our toes Or have we? Apparently not, according to hotel platform, Hoo, which looked at some data and found that 63% of us prefer a dip in the pool to the beach, and for a number of reasons: our dislike of pebbles, sand, and seawater and a fear of what lies beneath. The makers of Jaws have got a lot to answer for.
