Have you voted in this year's #bucketandspadelist yet?
The list is always a quirky mixture of places and attractions nominated by the public and compiled by @seasidenetwork.bsky.social Voting is a great way to support some of our lesser-known seaside treasures

Second place in the #BucketandSpadeList is Douglas Bay Horse Tramway #IsleofMan

Here is Harry the Trammer accepting his award. Apparently they bribed him to stand still with a carrot and polos!

Back to work now Harry and Congratulations! 🎉🎉

It's #YorkshireDay so it would be remiss of us not to give a massive plug to #Scarborough #CentralTramway, the 1881 cliff lift which is on our #BucketandSpadeList this year.
Vote here for this gem of #Yorkshire #seasideheritage -

I've only been to one of the places on this year's list, but I didn't vote for it...

Instead, I voted for Wemyss Bay Railway Station, because it has long since been on my bucket (and spade) list! 🙂

A lemon top was consumed for research purposes! Had to make sure I was casting a sound vote for Redcar in the 2025 #BucketandSpadeList @seasidenetwork.bsky.social

Fretty view from the top of the Redcar Beacon 😎

Margate Shell Grotto or Herne Bay pier? We’re almost out of time to vote for this year’s #Bucketandspadelist #seaside #heritage winner. But KMO’s Carolyn just happened to be in Herne Bay this morning, and yes it was raining…

Great that you found Skegness buzzing. The COVID staycation did have some effect but not as large or enduring as we'd hoped. Btw the Jolly Fisherman is a candidate in this year's @seasidenetwork.bsky.social #bucketandspadelist if you want to vote for him
