If the motorway services are a non-place, then is it equally valid to describe the underneath of a seaside pier as a non-destination, i.e. the bit you don't want to see of the thing you came to see?
It's certainly an odd place, a decaying labyrinth of fossilised wood and pools of standing water, part subterranean, part subaquatic, a Seahenge for 5000AD.
I love Walton - and walk a little way along the coast and come to the oddness that is Frinton - kind of polar opposite sea side towns bang next to each other.
