  • Just south of Great Yarmouth, on Suffolk’s “Sunrise Coast” is Lowestoft South Beach with its fine sand and wealth of local facilities. Also known as Victoria Beach, it is the main resort beach in the area with a Blue Flag award for its clean waters. South Beach also boasts many past awards from the Tourist Board.

    Something of a classic seaside town, Lowestoft has a refurbished seafront and promenade providing easy access to the sand. There is also pay-and-display car parking nearby.
    A Visitor Centre provides local info in the East Point Pavilion and a pier with amusements and entertainment centre. It’s a popular beach for fishing.

    The beach is ideal for a host of watersports such as swimming, surfing, windsurfing and jet-skiing and there is a seasonal lifeguard service.

    Fun activities such as Crazy Golf can be found in the Children’s Corner and on the Royal Green adjacent to the beach and promenade. There are public toilets and showers on the beach with local cafés and restaurants nearby.

    Dogs are not permitted on South Beach.
