Aldeburgh Beach is a quiet and unspoilt shingle beach with some sand exposed at low tide. The beach shelves quite steeply to the sea, with a wide promenade running alongside it.
Fishing huts, sheds and working boats are dotted along the beach, with freshly caught fish sold daily. You also have the Aldeburgh Scallop, a sculpture dedicated to Benjamin Britten, which bears a quotation in cut-out lettering from his opera, Peter Grimes: “I hear those voices that will not be drowned”.
Dogs are prohibited on central Aldeburgh Beach between May 1 and September 30, between the Brudenell Hotel and the end of Wentworth Road.
Just south of the beach at Aldeburgh is Orford Ness, which can be reached by a track leading from Aldeburgh and is popular with people sea-fishing.
Facilities in nearby Aldeburgh include car parking, toilets, cafes and pubs.
