Show Notes

We think beaches are great! What about you?

In this episode: We discuss how beaches are prime spots for enjoyment for all ages and at any time of year. We talk about how they can be places for excitement and adrenaline; places to encourage creativity; places for quiet contemplation; and places that bring perspective to life. Tommy goads Jono into a debate about what's better: Mountains or Beaches. We share our best beach-find stories and as ever, we bring in a few of Jono's other related sketches: + Sea Jellies and Sea Stars + Types of surf breaks (waves) + The Anatomy of a wave + The Strand Line

And here's the photo of "the bomb" found on the beach up near Middlesbrough.

We'd love to hear from you about your best finds or your most memorable moments at the beach. Email us: [email protected]
