Southwold, Suffolk, England, UK: ‘Fairs Folly’, a bright red and white-painted holiday hideaway in a long row of colourful beach hut lining the Promenade and other seafront sites at this small East Anglian resort on the Suffolk Heritage Coast. The privately-owned lockable wooden cabins - around 300 in all - mostly feature verandas and shutters . They have evolved from humble traditional fishermen’s huts into highly sought-after real estate that has become an iconic symbol of the British seaside vacation. Most are rented by holidaymakers well in advance of the holiday season. Although some are passed down through the generations in local families, those that do come on to the market can fetch high prices, with some now selling for six-figure sums.
