Great Yarmouth is the largest seaside resort in the East of England, enjoying an enviable location along Norfolk’s eastern coast. With origins dating back to medieval times, it is mentioned as a fishing port in the 1000-year-old Domesday Book. The town's seafront boasts a rich history, with both of its piers opening in the mid-18th century, even before Blackpool’s North Pier. Thanks to its convenient access from the south of England and the capital, Great Yarmouth arcades rival the south coast’s offerings as one of the UK’s top summer holiday destinations.
The town is well-known for its range of seaside attractions along Marine Parade, the epicentre of tourist fun. From Britannia Pier's Arcades to the famous Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach, visitors can utilise pony rides, a large cycle path and a mini train to stop off at attractions along Marine Parade. Top attractions include the Wellington Pier Arcade, Sealife Centre, and the recently renovated Marina Centre. With flat sandy beaches and easy access via the Norfolk coastal track, the town offers great access and parking for all visitors. Boasting just under twenty amusement venues, these Norfolk arcades come highly recommended by theme and amusement park enthusiasts. Popular Great Yarmouth arcades include the Gold Rush Arcade, The Flamingo Arcade, The Mint Arcade and Caesars Palace. There is also the historic Winter Gardens, which is currently undergoing a full renovation. Great Yarmouth is not just the seafront and Marine Parade, the town centre offers tourists many exciting things to see and do. Visitors can walk from the station, through the town and down the popular Regents Street, enjoying many attractions along the way, including several arcades and bingo venues, The Troll Cart Wetherspoons and many low-cost market stall kiosks and food options.
Great Yarmouth boasts a vastly wide, flat golden sandy beach that is hugely underrated, offering a cleaner, better-kept, and more compact alternative to Blackpool. With the charming recently refurbished Venetian Waterways, serene grasslands to the north, and access to the walkable and cyclable Norfolk Coast Path, it’s a perfect coastal destination for fun and adventure.
