Ten more beach huts have been installed along Gorleston s lower prom amid a surge in demand.
All 10 have been sold on either a 10 or 20-year lease, generating up to £19,800 each for Great Yarmouth Borough Council just as income has dipped from sources like car parking due to the pandemic.
It brings the total number along the stretch to 30, 19 of which are sold, 10 are for annual hire and one is available for weekly or monthly hire.

An urgent call-to-arms was today issued to try to ensure that every child in Norfolk who needs a laptop for home schooling is able to get access to one.
An estimated 6,000 in the county are without a digital device to complete online learning, with 1,000 families believed to have no way at all to connect to the internet.
Today, this newspaper is launching the Every Child Online campaign, alongside Norfolk County Council and the Norfolk Community Foundation (NCF) to shorten the digital divide during the pandemic by asking businesses and individuals to donate their unused devises to support a child s learning.
But coming to school every day like we are doing now is like playing Russian Roulette – any of us could get the virus as we are mixing every day and many staff are in the vulnerable category too or old like me and could end up in intensive care in the next 10 days. We all celebrate on a Friday that we’ve made it through another week and keep our fingers crossed for the next one, hoping our luck doesn’t run out.

Groundworks are under way as part of a scheme to create a drive-through restaurant in a coastal town.
Work to develop a McDonald s drive-through outlet of the fast-food restaurant chain - to be located on Mill Road in Lowestoft - is progressing.
After plans for a new two-storey McDonald’s drive-through restaurant in Lowestoft were approved in September 2018, diggers were on the site of a former BP garage in Mill Road as demolition work started in January 2019.
