5th photo - the Beach Hut - from the road/rail swing bridge across the entrance to the Marina - photo courtesy of the Preston Marina Beach Hut.
The cafe welcomes cyclists - cycle rack - you should give way to pedestrians. Great to sit outside on a sunny day and maybe take a break from cycling the Guild Wheel. Over the weekend you may even get to see and hear a steam train crossing bridge.
Note: there is parking at the back of the cafe (the main entrance) if you are visiting the cafe. Also free parking at the nearby Marina carpark just south of Mariners Way.
