Ulster by the Sea

A happy-go-lucky lady on the cusp of 50 ticks surfing off her bucket list, and a folk musician extols the healing power of seaside life.

A mother and two boys learn how to live with the grief of losing their husband and father, and a family with five caravans on the same site enjoy quality time together over the 12th fortnight.

A man spends his first summer at the caravan site without his mother after caring for her full-time for eight years, and a former skinhead from the Shankill road finds healing from PTSD at his little sanctuary by the sea.

Emer has been running Coney Island Caravan Park in County Down along with her husband Michael for over 30 years. Their biggest event of the summer is coming up – their annual bingo night, with its biggest ever of £1,100!

Brian and John have had a tumultuous year, with Brian recovering from a heart attack. However, they are determined to celebrate with the help of family, friends and an Abba tribute band!

Teresa is the busiest woman in County Donegal, juggling family, college and a new house. Her two weeks of rest and relaxation in their touring caravan is much needed, but with a country and western festival happening, things might be getting busy again!

Kathryn's time at her family caravan at Maguire Strand, just outside of Ballycastle, is spent training hard for triathlons. Her life was transformed by a kidney transplant 13 years ago, which spurred her on to embrace this demanding sport.
