A lovely beach with fine views out over the North Sea and along the coastline. The beach consists of a combination of sand dune, shingle and sand. Access to it may, therefore, cause difficulty for anyone with mobility issues. The beach was very clean and quiet on a sunny Sunday afternoon in late February. There is plentiful parking close-by. The beach and village are also accessible via a bridge or boat from Southwold. This beach is definitely worth visiting if you are in the area.
Great beach for dog walking! Dogs can be walked here all year round. Its a stony and sandy beach. There are a couple of payable car parks on site with toilets available. The area is known for crabbing which is popular in the summer and looks great fun! There are a couple of pubs, tea room and gift shop in the village, all within walking distance from the beach. There is also a ferry that takes you across the water to Southwold. We really enjoyed our time here and will be returning!
This beach is fab! You have sand and stoney sections, a higher section with grass amongst scattered sand pits. There are secluded area for picnics. The river entrance to the north side. The are exception Suffolk views all around the little village with an ice cream shop, coffee shop and two pubs. All small local businesses, none of the highstreet chain garbage. Worth a trip and don't forget your crab lines!..
This beach is stunning. We parked at the car park £1 for an hour which isn't bad at all. Had a nice walk along the beach and had a look at the groins which are now fenced off. A good 20 years ago I used to play on these as a child. Really open spaces here, nice vast landscape. The little ice cream truck in the car park sells crabbing things as well which is cute.
Beautiful place to visit. Great for crabbing, nice reasonabley sandy beach, ok parking and reasonably priced. Only thing I would say is it needs more food outlets ( like way more). Went to the nearest pub and was told food would be an hour!!. Bring a packed lunch.
