Great Yarmouth, on the south Norfolk coast, has been a popular holiday destination for many years. With over 15 miles of beach and a range of attractions, it draws visitors from across the UK and beyond every year. Here are 5 things you should try and see or do on your next trip.
1. The beaches
You can’t ignore the beaches at Great Yarmouth – they are the main attraction, and for good reason. All in all, Great Yarmouth has 15 miles of beach, all which are sandy, clean and safe. The main beach at Great Yarmouth was voted 3rd in a UK poll of the best sandcastle-building beaches and that’s confirmed by the number of families that visit each year. In addition, there is a safety tag facility for young children, where they can be given a wristband to wear that helps to identify them if they wander off from their families or get lost on the beach. Each of the main beaches has its own community, with shops, amusements and attractions.
