This is changing now and having returned to shooting in more recent years after a 15 year break I have noticed that the modern world has finally caught up on the coastline.

New development are springing up, contemporary designs of large scale holiday homes are replacing the crumbling, wind battered facades of older buildings, hotels are closing, Air BnB bijou flats are all the rage.”
