Caister beach is a large length of sandy beaches backed by dunes to the north of Great Yarmouth. The beach starts at Caister Point to the south and runs a long way north past Caister-on-Sea itself and joins to Scratby beach.
Caister on Sea has a number of holiday parks backing the beach.
Facilities include shops, cafes, toilets, small car park to the north and larger car parks to the south.
Caister Beach is dog friendly and allows dogs all year.
Water samples are taken at regular intervals during the bathing season and at the end of the season the water quality is classified as: - Excellent: the highest classification meaning the water is cleanest - Good: generally good water quality - Sufficient: meets minimum standards - Poor: You are advised not to swim. The beach will stay open and an action plan should be in place to improve the water quality.
