The Pullover (sometimes Pull Over) was a slight dip in the line of protective sand dunes used as a route to cart goods to the village from boats at the sea edge. The name refers to this action, where it was common to have available an extra horse to aid the task of pulling over the sand dune. This metalled road for emergency access to the beach was, in the early 20th century, a sandy track with two refreshment shacks. The widened area beyond, which today contains novelty alcohol and food outlets, and amusement arcades, had an open aspect with two or three domestic buildings and farmland. The Pullover has given its name to the road back into what is now the built up village.
