Britain's love for beach huts grows in pandemic | AFP

Beach huts are a peculiarly British passion.

Two beach hut lovers explain their allure.

this is so cute but so crowded

Rather sad that these have not caught on in Canada. Everyone on this side of the pond wants a summer cottage with land. As long as you get along with your neighbors the British beach hut would be loads of fun.

I've always wanted a beach hut! There are none available for sale in West Somerset. :(

Do people sleep in these things overnight?

All this talk about outside but you're inside. It's a hut.

A lot of money for a beach all it is is shed

The country is ridiculous. Nothing this miserable should cost that much.
