With the best fish and chips on the doorstep and the option to order afternoon tea straight to your hut, it's hardly surprising they've been such a success.
And now the owner of the huts is giving one lucky person the chance to win one of the huts for the entire summer.
With just a 49p entry fee, the winner of the competition shared on the Beach Competitions website here, will have exclusive use of a hut from July 1 to September 1, 2025.

All you have to do is answer a simple question and submit your entry, costing 49 pence per ticket.
It comes after beach hut owner Stuart Robertson decided to launch the competitions website to help families make memories together. Others running on the site include the chance to win a four-night break in the nearby St Annes Beach Apartments, which they also own.
"It started with small prizes like a beach hut with champagne afternoon tea, an apartment getaway with spending money, that kind of thing," said Stuart. "But now we're ramping things up and launching our biggest giveaway yet - a beach hut for summer 2025.
"The winner gets exclusive use of their very own hut from July 1 to September 1. That's two whole months to make it theirs - picnics, seaside days, afternoon teas, you name it. It's something people ask me about constantly, booking a hut for the whole summer, or even owning one, so I'm buzzing to finally be able to say 'yes'."
He added: "I know there are a lot of competition sites out there now, but this one's really rooted in our story. The idea is to give people more of what they love about the beach huts - and create some once-in-a-lifetime seaside memories along the way."
Deadline for entries is 6.45pm on Friday, May 2, but the company reserves the right to extend it depending on the number of tickets sold.
You can book one beach hut for the day for groups of up to six people from £135. For more details on the beach huts, visit the website here.

Donkey Kong Bananza drops frames, but that doesn't mean the Switch 2 is weak
As I rip a chunk of rock out of the ground and use it to obliterate towers of golden roots or use an explosive rock to shatter an entire cliff face, spawning a cacophony of gold to collect raining down around me in Donkey Kong Bananza, it is impossible to ignore the hit the frame rate takes. In that moment, it almost feels good — like in the days of the SNES when the game would chug when too many particles were on screen — and yet in the back of my mind, I knew it would be used as a talking point for the power of the Switch 2. The original Switch was underpowered from the start, and certainly pushed well beyond its limits in the eight long years it was on the market before the Switch 2. The early years weren't too bad, with Nintendo first party games typically running perfectly fine, but near the end even Tears of the Kingdom started to make the poor Switch buckle. And we don't even need to talk about Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. The last thing players want to see is the second major release for the system already pushing the console to the limits. Recommended Videos Yes, Donkey Kong Bananza will drop frames when things get crazy — and even a couple times when I don't think it should — but don't let that convince you the Switch 2 is already maxed out. Learning the ropes Whenever I discuss topics related to hardware and development, the first place I start is with any official statement from the development team itself. Because a few Donkey Kong Bananza previews had raised concerns about the frame rate prior to the game's launch, director Kazuya Takahashi commented on the game's performance and frame rate with Lavenguardia (translated by NintendoEverything). 'There are several factors to consider. First, we intentionally used effects like hit-stop and slow motion to emphasize impacts. Second, because we use voxel technology, there are times when there are major changes and destruction in the environment. We're aware that performance may drop slightly at these times. However, as you say, overall the game is smooth, and at points where large-scale changes occur, we prioritized fun and playability.' There are a few key points to pick out of this statement. First is that Donkey Kong Bananza uses voxel technology to support the level of deformation and destruction in the game, which is certainly not typical for most titles. Because Bananza is such a special case, it wouldn't be fair to use it as a barometer for how future games would perform. An apt comparison would be something like Hyrule Warriors, which seriously chugged on the Switch due to populating the screen with hundreds of characters at once, but wouldn't be fair to hold up as a typical experience. The other point that struck me was the acknowledgment of the performance dips and deliberate choice to accept that concession in exchange for a more fun experience. To me, this sounds like Nintendo saw a way in which it could smooth over moments of slowdown, but it would come at the cost of the game's core goal — letting the player smash through the world like a force of nature. The team wanted to preserve its artistic vision at a small technical cost. Based on my playthrough with Bananza, I think that was the right call. This is Nintendo pulling out all the stops on a game in a way we haven't seen in years. I don't want to hand-wave away framerate dips as being unimportant or claim they add to the experience when any other company would be raked over the coals for the same thing. However, I will draw the line at suggesting that it should be taken as a sign that the Switch 2 is already showing its age. Cherrypicking one example to hold up as the smoking gun is never solid grounding for an argument. I don't believe anyone who is worried about what Bananza's frame rate means for the Switch 2 is doing so maliciously, but more out of genuine concern. And I get it; we just spent $450 on this new piece of hardware, and even Nintendo itself is hitting technical issues. If any developer should be able to squeeze the most power out of the Switch 2, it would be Nintendo, right? Well, yes and no. Nintendo certainly knows the hardware better than any team, but that doesn't make them experts on day one. Every console has a learning curve, and the longer a team has to learn how to best take advantage of the hardware, the more power it can squeeze out of it. We see it every generation, and there's no reason to think it won't happen here. We also need to consider the fact that Bananza was originally a Switch game before moving to the new hardware. It is easy to say that this is a point against the game running poorly, but we have to be honest about how big of an assumption that is on our part. I'm not a developer, and odds are you aren't either. We might think that starting a game on weaker hardware only to move to a vastly more powerful system would mean that there's less excuse for performance woes, but that's just an assumption. We will never know how tricky it is to completely rework a game for new hardware mid-development. Conversations about a game's performance are valuable. If performance has an impact on your enjoyment, positively or negatively, then that is completely valid, but we should aim to keep those conversations contained to each individual experience. The Switch 2 is just getting started, so let's not jump the gun just because Bananza drops frames here and there.

Fast Fusion scratches the hyper fast F-Zero itch
The Switch 2 technically launched with an F-Zero game, as F-Zero GX was available on Nintendo Switch Online's premium tier as part of the GameCube lineup. But if you're looking for a new F-Zero or Wipeout, the console has a spiritual successor that costs just $14.99: Shin'en's Fast Fusion. Fast Fusion pits you in futuristic sci-fi hovercraft races where you fly forward at hundreds of miles per hour. Races are all about managing boosts by collecting coins to build your boost meter and driving over boost zones on the tracks themselves. (You can boost into opponents to make them spin out to earn some extra coins, which never gets old.) The game looks great — it's the first time I've been really wowed by the Switch 2's graphics. The tracks are thrilling, with rolling hills and tight turns that sometimes make you feel like you're on a roller coaster, especially when you're barreling ahead at super-fast speeds. They all feel distinct, too: In one, you'll drive over a sandy desert as whale-like creatures jump above you. A course in space forced me to dodge meteors falling on the track. One stage set around a volcano was filled with magma. There's no online multiplayer, so you're probably going to be competing mostly against computer opponents. They can be tough, even at the lowest difficulty — sometimes it even feels like they can unfairly rubber-band ahead of you. But as I got more familiar with the tracks, knowing when to boost, and learning where to find alternate rounds, I found I was better at keeping up. Fortunately, you don't have to get first place in a cup to get a good chunk of in-game currency you can use to buy new tracks or vehicles. And you can play local multiplayer, if you want to take on your friends at home. If you tire of cups, there are a few other fun modes to play and earn money from. My favorite was 'Super Hero Mode,' where you have to get first place in a track without blowing up — with the added twist that your boost meter is also a shield meter, similar to F-Zero. It creates an exciting risk-reward dynamic, and I wish there was a mode where you had to complete a whole cup that way. The game's vehicles are much less interesting than the levels. They all looked pretty generic to me. You can pay a small fee to 'fuse' vehicles together to make better racers, though I honestly couldn't tell that much of a difference between the different options. Fast Fusion isn't exactly the same as F-Zero, and I really wish Nintendo would make a brand-new entry in that series. (F-Zero 99 doesn't quite count. Sorry, Wes.) And I'm not getting my hopes up for a new Wipeout game anytime soon. For now, Fast Fusion scratches the high-speed sci-fi racing itch, and it's a great showcase for what's possible with the Switch 2 — and what a new F-Zero might, someday, possibly look like. Fast Fusion is available now on the Nintendo Switch 2.

New pocket-sized computer as small as a standard gift card
By Dean Murray Gaming fans will be excited at the launch of a new retro computer from a Sinclair. However, instead of 80s tech pioneer Sir Clive, the new device is the brainchild of his nephew Grant Sinclair. He has unveiled GamerCard-a pocket-sized gaming device the size of a standard gift card. Inspired by spotting gift cards on sale in WHSmith, Sinclair designed GamerCard to bring computing and gaming to the masses in a familiar, portable form. Built on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, it features a sharp 4-inch display, tactile controls, and comes preloaded with two full arcade titles previously released for Nintendo Switch. GamerCard can also emulate thousands of classic games and supports programming, making it ideal for coding beginners as well as retro fans. Its slim, tough build uses a novel PCB construction, eliminating bulky cases and excess waste. Weighing just 100 grams, it promises instant gaming anywhere, with no setup or packaging. Sinclair hopes to see GamerCard in shops nationwide soon, with the device available now for £125 from his website.
