Yarmouth is loud, bright and brash.
Norfolk’s most popular resort has a long,
soft, sandy beach.
We are reviewing the main beach between the two piers. The beach
is wide but the tide doesn’t go out very far.
This year Yarmouth Central Beach was awarded a Seaside Award for
clean sands and good facilities. The beach is managed by Great Yarmouth
Borough Council.
Entertainment is on tap with amusement arcades,
nightclubs and the Pleasure Beach.
There are toilets on the
promenade. Water taps are available but no
public showers. The beach huts are privately-owned.
There’s plenty to do on rainy days with numerous
entertainment venues, amusement arcades, rides and shops.
Both piers have theatres: the Britannia and the Wellington - although
the latter is closed for the 2003 season.
The Pleasure Beach with its numerous rides including the world's
oldest wooden roller coaster, is close to the Wellington Pier.
There are lifeguards between the piers and a
lifeboat serves the area. They’re on duty from spring bank
holiday until the end of September. First aid is available.
Disabled access
There are steep ramps on to the beach -
assistance may be required to use them.
The sand is very soft which could cause problems. There is wheelchair
access to the beach huts. Free spaces for orange badge holders are
available in the main pay-and-display car parks.
