    No, I disagree that seasides in the Victorian times were better because nowadays you can go to the beach more often than in the past but in the Victorian times, you could only go in the holidays because it was expensive. Also, in the past people covered all of their bodies but now, you can just wear shorts and swimming costumes.

    Seaside was better in victorian days because they had bathing huts which they do not have now. When I was at the seaside I had to change in front of everyone because there are no huts.

    Seaside is also better now as anyone can visit and stay in caravans and hotels because not everyone can buy a house near a seaside.
