Situated next to a sandy strip of Dorset beach, the Avon Beach Shop provides all the necessities for holiday makers and day trippers. There’s a ramp that makes disabled access possible and easy entry for families with buggies. The shop is divided into areas where a range merchandise is displayed. There’s a section for leisure wear and swimming costumes, a central counter with the till that acts as a newsagent with papers, sweets, ice creams and drinks for sale. Opposite, there’s a selection of gifts and to the right of the entrance you’ll find body-boards, buckets and spades and the like. Tucked away in a corner is the book department that provides a range of fiction, crime novels and local interest books. There are few book displays that have such a marvellous backdrop through the window of the shop.
