The best thing is, that IS a public beach, and anyone can use the toilets! It just takes a while to get to due to the shape of the sandbank - it's a long walk from a car park or accessed via the ferry from Christchurch. There was a local news story about Londoners who'd bought beach huts there being upset that they had to mix with the hoi polloi, because they thought beach hut = private beach. There was a petition of some sort to make it private, too. I bet MeJulie was one of those who signed!

It would've been purchased yeeeeeeears ago. My theory is that Gary bought it and Julie got it in the divorce.
Ahh, yes that makes sense! Didn't see this before posting my theory
