“Beach huts at Mudeford Sandbank”
Mudeford Sandbank is a sandy beach near Hengistbury Head, with beautiful views towards Christchurch bay.
It is famous for the 346 beach huts, the most expensive beach huts in the UK, with prices starting at 100 k. This is because their residential status, with owners or tenants allowed to stay overnight from February to November.
The area is very popular for people who enjoy long walks and for dog walkers. The access is possible on foot, by land train from Hengistbury head car park or by ferry, from Christchurch or from Mudeford Quay.
It is one of our favourite places for a walk, so we often go there.
Last week, we were visiting Mudeford with some dear friends, and because it was lunchtime and the restaurant was shut (it is only open daily from February to November and rest of the year weekends only, depending on weather) we decided to take the ferry to Mudeford Quay.
The other option would have been driving around the bay and Christchurch.
We had a lovely lunch in a lovely place called “The noisy lobster”.
I took a few pictures from the ferry, with some beach huts and lovely reflections in the calm water of the bay.
So this is my studio painting of Mudeford beach, from my “ A painting a week” project.
