If you feel the need to use one, I have just checked and 2nd week in June is available ... ( one of the new ones that is, which as you say are poorly sited compared to the older ones )
And all would be more tastefully decorated.
These are the new ones, very nice they are as well. Not much in the way of facilities at that end of the beach compared to the other end....
These are the 'old' ones, nicely located next to Splash point, an excellent outdoor cafe run by two Eastern European ladies and a short stroll tomThe View restaurant on the cliff top overlooking the golf course and bay.
No idea where those in the picture in the original post are, not anywhere round here though unless they have gone up in the last two weeks....

Rather boxed in ! I have one on the beach here. Had it about 13 years. It’s a pain in the arse and I should sell it. Visitors to my fine area stay late and have a few beers. Occasionally too many and decide jumping from one beach hut roof to another is fun. The occasional vandalism too is a bonus. Prob worth about 12k; I think I last opened the place up about.....

Why did you find it necessary to quote the prices, does it make you feel elevated?

Reminds me I’ve got a hut at the side of Roundhay park boating lake, cost me £5million twenty years ago, think I’ll sell it, it will now be worth £400million.
Ooh I feel so elevated.

Nothing in that shit hole is worth more than a £1
Get that bike cleaned

good looking AND modest
Do you mean "poof" as in homosexual, or like the "Magic Dragon" or maybe even a gust of wind, just need to know to clarify things you understand!!
All the above.Do you mean "poof" as in homosexual, or like the "Magic Dragon" or maybe even a gust of wind, just need to know to clarify things you understand!!
I'll look next time I walk down that way - think they have used a wrong photo though!!
My sincere apologies.
The new ones are actually £42,000.
One of the 'old' ones is on the market for £30,000, can only assume that the prices for the old ones has dropped while the new ones are for sale.

Buy one, then you can have a more rounded picture of what a pain they are to own. Upkeep is nearly always completed when it’s cold and windy as it’s generally done at the very start or end of the season. You can’t exactly paint it whilst your neighbours are troughing and enjoying the sun. Getting tools to the place is a ball ache as you nearly always forget something. Mine is about 100 metres from the house, just far enough for you to think about what you’ve forgotten. The locks and hinges rust, badly, despite what quality you buy, as does everything contained within it. Spring tides like to fill them up with scabby water and to cap it off you pay a licence fee to actually have it at its location of about £500 a year. As an owner of a beach hut here and having paid my licence fee I still have to pay parking too (if i took a vehicle obviously).My sincere apologies.

Anyway, anyone want to buy a spongy floored shed painted in colours only Pow Lo could appreciate ?
I have and never have had an intention of buying one! Never really 'got' them, although a lot of people use theirs down here and obviously enjoy it. I know a lot of people have bought them over the years as investments and that has probably worked quite well, but at £35k upwards I can't see it now. Single garages go for for around £10k to £12k around here, much better prospect to my mind, and you get a rental income as well. But you can't see the sea.
Don't talk to me about corrosion as a result of living on the coast....spent a fortune on 'marine grade stainless steel for coastal locations ' outdoor lighting a couple of years back, noticed yesterday that they have a thin layer of rust forming. We get a lot of 'sea fogs' here....the cost of living by the sea!!
