Southwold, Suffolk, United Kingdom: ‘The Chequered Flag’ - among the 300-odd colourful privately-owned beach huts lining the Promenade and other seafront sites at this East Anglian resort. The beach huts evolved from simple fishermen’s huts into iconic symbols of the traditional British seaside holiday. Most are rented well in advance of the summer season and on the rare occasions when one comes up for sale, the asking price is often well in excess of £200,000.
