The beach is absolutely stunning, with its long stretches of soft sand and beautiful dunes that are perfect for walking through. However, it can get quite crowded during the peak season. Thankfully, there are toilets, a cafe, and parking available for visitors.

The beach is incredibly stunning. Unlike the unpleasant Yarmouth or Hemsby, it lacks any tackiness. The sand is a gorgeous golden color, and there is plenty of space to walk for miles into the ocean. It is also dog-friendly, and while we were swimming, a seal unexpectedly appeared about 30 yards away from us. However, I came across some reviews claiming that the beach is wheelchair accessible, but that is definitely not the case. The only way to reach the beach is through a narrow and steep path that goes through the dunes. Fortunately, we were able to carry my son, and once we were on the beach, it was possible to navigate with an all-terrain wheelchair, although it was still quite challenging.

This beach is absolutely delightful for dog owners, as it is welcoming to our furry friends. The sand is plentiful and beautifully clean. Additionally, there is ample parking available and a fantastic café nearby. I must say, the vegan sausage rolls were absolutely delicious!

The beach is absolutely lovely and not too crowded. We were fortunate enough to find a wonderful spot with a breathtaking view of the ocean. We even had the incredible experience of witnessing seals playfully peeking in and out of the water, which was truly enchanting. I would absolutely recommend this beach to anyone!

It was a wonderful experience to witness the seals up close during my visit to the beach. Not only were some of them nearby, but there was also a warden present to ensure everyone's safety. I managed to capture some beautiful photos as well. One of the lady wardens even took the time to chat with us about the seals' routine on the beach before they return to the sea. Additionally, the beach was fenced off, which was a brilliant measure. It's truly amazing that we have the opportunity to see all of this for free, right nearby.
