I was in knott end years ago with friends and it was absolutely packed with elderly people. We could see the top of a slipway from where we were and maybe a dozen or so old folks wondered down it over the course of an hour or so but we never saw one come back up. We theorised that it was what they did when their time came, they just sort of got in the sea. Perhaps that's why seaside towns were so attractive to the elderly. They know their time is close and they want to be close to those welcoming depths.

The sea has always had a calming effect on me - nothing to do with being old.

I've always loved the sea, ever since being a kid.

It's allure captivates me and I could literally sit for hours and watch it. The sound, the smell, the wildlife.

You can sit in a deckchair and lick an icecream.

That’s what those old style postcards always depict mature folk at the seaside as doing.

Because as you get older you seek more peace ( well I do anyway ). Go sit on a beach listen to the sea, if that doesn’t relax you and bring you peace, your way to stressed out for this world.

Think beyonce is quoted as saying she always feels happiest when she's by the sea.

I guess they see the tide as a metaphor for these age threads. They just keep returning.
