Susan Calman's Summer By the Sea

In Clacton-on-Sea Susan explores the pleasure pier, where she rides the ferris wheel, battles Nina Wadia on the water dodgems, and becomes a magician's assistant.

In Bournemouth, Susan takes a beachside train ride, boards a ferry to see impressive beach hits, visits a Victoria treasure trove and meets Gareth Malone for a game of Jenga.

Susan visits Margate on the Kent coast where she tries a tub of cockles, visits the mysterious Shell Grotto, and hooks up with actress Sally Lindsay at pleasure park Dreamland.

Susan starts by surveying Southwold, on the Suffolk coast, from the town's remarkable lighthouse before exploring the area from the sea and visiting Walberswick and Thorpeness

Susan visits the town of Cleethorpes where she tries stunt kite flying, takes a trip on a coastal railway, and embarks on a thrilling remote-control boat race with Les Dennis.
