Southwold, a charming seaside town on the Suffolk coast, is renowned for its quintessentially British seaside charm, picturesque scenery, and well-preserved town character. The beach and the town offer a range of attractions and activities that make Southwold a beloved destination for both day-trippers and holidaymakers.
The beach is a beautiful stretch of sand interspersed with shingle areas and wooden groynes. It is divided by Southwold Pier and overlooked by a promenade and colourful beach huts. Walk along the beach away from the huts, and you will see sand dunes at The Denes beach.
The main beach in Southwold bans dogs from April until October, although a short walk away at Denes Beach, and you have no restrictions.
You have all the facilities expected of a traditional seaside town, and the actual beach includes toilets, a pier, a promenade, beach huts, a campsite, and seasonal lifeguards.
