Southwold The Denes Beach

Denes Beach in Southwold, Suffolk, offers a quieter alternative to the bustling Southwold Pier area, appealing to those seeking a peaceful beach experience. It is known for its wide expanse of shingle beach, which transitions to sand at low tide.

One of the beach’s main attractions is its natural, unspoiled environment. The area is more secluded than the main Southwold Beach, making it ideal for visitors looking to avoid the crowd and seasonal dog bans.

Denes Beach is dog-friendly, making it a popular choice for dog owners. However, the main Southwold beach has summer restrictions so check the signs when accessing Denes Beach from Southwold.

Being a quieter and more remote area, Denes Beach has fewer facilities than the main beach. The beach has toilets, limited parking and seasonal lifeguards with more facilities a short walk away in Southwold.

Walking paths along the beach and the nearby dunes provide lovely routes for walks and bird watching.
