    It would depend on what kind of tourists the place attracts. I live in a tourist town that attracts families and couples. During peak times (Summer, Easter and Cup Weekend and snow season) it gets very busy. I mainly just stay away from the shops during the busy times.

    Mmmm its a popular beach destination and I would imagine mainly families and some young people? Not as bad as Rye/Rosebud though I wouldn't think - will find out in a few weeks when we spend 7 days camping there!

    Ooh, I know where you're thinking of Tan! DH's auntie has a beautiful beachfront home there, we had our wedding in her garden . She's putting it up for sale soon (Although you'd end up with a massive mortgage with that house lol).

    It gets really really busy there over peak season, but I reckon it would be worth it! DH's cousins have all grown up there and they have never complained about the busy times .

    How exciting!!

    Thanks all!!

    Trish yep you got it!! We are considering either there or DH's home town - for the sake of 20 mins I would rather be beachside!! I figure we will pack up the van and head elsewhere in peak times and enjoy it when it's quiet.. Just trying to work out the logistics and DH's work - he has worked SO hard to get where he is, in 2 years he has gone from a trades assistant to a Site Manager and Foreman and is on great pay. Just have to weigh it all up but I am keen to do stuff before Iz starts school too. Will see what happens!!

    We live in a tourist town and it's not an issue for us. I will add we are locals, so for us this is normal

    We'll have to do some more play dates before (if!) you move Tan! DH's Auntie is a teacher at primary school in a town local to where she lives. She's retiring at the end of this year. Made me think of you!

    I live in a tourist town....a bit different to a beachside town, but one that relies on tourists none the less. We don't even really notice.
