About this word search

Crazy golf, Donkey rides and the Pier are fixtures of a traditional British seaside town, and the Promenade is where everyone walks with an ice lolly in hand. Lighthouse and Harbour add the working side of the coast.

Tide is one of the shortest words on the list and one of the most important, since the times of high and low water decide when the rock pools can be explored.

Lighthouse and Promenade are long anchors in the eighteen-square grid, where words go in every direction. The Z in Crazy golf and the K in Snorkel help.
