This delightful film from Eric Giles starts with the family's departure by car from Surrey. Towing a boat behind them, they drive past Itchenor and arrive at Sunny Brae - their seashore holiday home. The film shows the family and their friends playing on the beach and in the garden - swimming in the sea, building sandcastles and enjoying meals outdoors. A yachting sequence shows the men out at sea before we see a montage of locations and events like the Sailing Club's Regatta.
