Great Yarmouth is one of the biggest and best-known seaside resorts on the East Anglian coast — a long Golden Mile of traditional seafront attractions, two piers, and a wide sandy beach.

A genuinely traditional seaside resort

Amusement arcades, fairground rides and fish and chips along the seafront give Great Yarmouth a classic British-holiday feel that’s held up over generations — a strong pick if that’s the kind of trip you’re after.

Beyond the seafront

The Norfolk Broads sit just inland, and Caister-on-Sea and Hopton-on-Sea are both close by if you want to explore beyond Great Yarmouth itself — see our guides to Caister-on-Sea and Hopton-on-Sea.

Booking around peak season

As one of the region’s most popular resorts, Great Yarmouth’s best-located parks book up early for summer — worth booking well ahead if you have specific dates in mind.
