Although seaside holidays in the UK are not as popular as they used to be, many British people still go to seaside towns for their summer holidays. The stereotype is of a family who go to the beach for a picnic even if the weather is cold and windy. The parents sit in deckchairs, and the children build sandcastles, go for donkey rides and eat rock (= a hard, sticky sweet) or ice cream.
Many seaside towns have a pier (= a long wooden structure that is built out over the sea for people to walk along and enjoy themselves), which usually has an amusement arcade (= a place where you play games by putting coins into machines) where people can play video games or one-armed bandits (= a machine that you put money in to try and win more money).
