Went on holiday to Wells and it was a nice surprise how nice it was. The hall was decent too even under COVID restrictions.
There was a beach on the way to Hunstanton where you had to pay a tenner for the car and Norfolk Wildlife Trust manned it, but was well worth the money. Far quieter and that.
Growing up by Southwold I've always taken it for granted, but I do like a wander round Dunwich etc. too.
I went to Horsey at the back end of last year when 2,000 Seals and pups were on the beach for pupping season. That was cool, walked a few miles across to Winterton, few pints in the pub and got picked up from there. Would definitely recommend Horsey, although I've really not seen enough of Norfolk's coast to compare it to much.
Suffolk I would say Southwold > Aldeburgh. And perhaps controversially I've tended to go to Old Felixstowe more than either lately. Often overlooked in the Suffolk beach conversation, but very good spot IMO.
Essex: I only tend to drive through it and out the other side.

Another vote for Waxham Sands and Horsey from me.
Many more seals than people, lovely sandy beaches.
Had a lovely week there in early August.

You will mean Holme or Brancaster. Both lovely beaches

Well I never, how have I never heard of Covehithe Beach?! I just gave it a google, now got it on my walking list, thanks for that.

Don't park too close to the edge or your car won't be there when you get back. It's quite scary if you walk in the autumn and see how close to the edge they have planted - and then how much disappears the next year when the crop has grown..
If nobody has mentioned it - there is a remarkable church within a church to look around before setting off down the footpath that very few people bother to walk down to the beach.

I see about the church when I googled it, looks interesting. I just hope the sea hasn't swallowed it before I get the chance to see it!

Don't laugh but there is a lot to be said for the walk from Sizewall to Minsmere... particularly if you have a passing interest in birds. black redstarts and kittiwake are just two of the more unusual suffolk birds that love the high radiation living at sizewall and the dunes have some interesting plants too. If you press on to dunwich you can have a nice fish and chip lunch whilst waiting for someone to gve you a lift home

I used to take the piss out of Felixstowe but as I get older I am beginning to appreciate it a lot more. Old Felixstowe is great.

Don't quote me on this, but I'm sure I've read somewhere that some historian debunked the myth of that story.
It’s certainly a fairly common story around these parts. I was told it at a young age by my Grandad who was in the Home Guard during the war. His account, which matches that in the link, was supposedly passed one by other Home Guard members.
