Why Invest in Coastal Property? The Benefits of Living by the Sea
We take you through the benefits of living by the sea and showcase some of the finest coastal property currently for sale...
Earlier this year, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Sajid Javid, announced that the government will provide coastal communities with a further £40 million injection following on from the £120 million they have received since 2012. This financial injection into piers, promenades and coastal paths will go towards creating new jobs that will in turn boost tourism and increase economic growth.
As coastal communities continue to benefit from these government initiatives, we take you through the multitude of benefits of living by the coast.
Firstly, the air is cleaner and fresher. Much has also been said about the positive effect sea air has and the good night’s rest one experiences after spending a day at the beach. Many also believe that living in a coastal town offers a better quality of life, not only is the air cleaner, it has been argued that the negative ions in the sea air can boost your mood and decrease stress levels.
Moreover, it’s a lot easier to lead an active lifestyle while living on the coast. Not only a haven for surfers, kayakers and sailors, those looking for a gentler form of exercise can indulge in beachcombing once the tide goes out. Nowadays, a lot of coastal towns also offer outdoor exercise classes on the beach, from walking groups to Beach Blast classes.
With the plenitude of seafood available, it would be remiss not to mention the ample amount of delicious cuisine available on tap. Whether you’re looking for good old-fashioned fish and chips, or a chic seafood restaurant, the fresh, locally sourced food is a definite bonus of any coastal town.
From fisherman’s cottages and riverfront penthouses, to vast marina houses, the different types of coastal property available also helps to attract people working with a variety of budgets. Moreover, those with a bit of extra cash can also indulge in the most quintessential of British coastal property – the beach hut.
