    I do not agree because only rich people could afford to go to the seaside in Victorian days. Working class people only went to the seaside for a holiday, but now anybody can go to the seaside even for a day.

    In Victorian days there were not many activities to do, but nowadays we have lots more that we can do such as funfairs, arcades, feeding the seals, surfing and crazy golf.

    The first British seas side holiday started in a town called Scarborough
