Sunshine Coast

Part of the expanse up in Norfolk known as the Sunshine Coast, Great Yarmouth experiences over 330 hours of Sun during the Summer as seen in July 2018.

It is a brilliant location during this time, attracting millions of visitors between May and September. A popular activity for tourists is often seal spotting, where, just like yourself, they can be seen sunbathing in their natural habitat.

But let’s not forget the winter months. In winter, locals will flock to the seas to surf and kitesurf. It is the best season for these sports due to the wind from the west which is more common in winter.

Nature Reserves

Being away from major cities means that there is far more space to host nature reserves and to have vast, protected areas.

So, once you’ve settled in after moving to Great Yarmouth, make sure to leave the town every now and then and make your way to RSPB Berney Marshes and Breydon Water; a wonderful and unspoilt nature reserve offering peaceful walks and open skies.

Commuting times from …heaven?

If you’ve ever had to commute to work, then you know the kind of hell that can be.

Here in Great Yarmouth, you won’t have to be worried about getting stuck in those sauna-esque London Underground tubes on the hottest days of the year.

Instead, enjoy a 35-minute drive to the closest city, being Norwich. Everything is within an arms-reach in this quaint town.

Rich Heritage

Home to fantastic heritage, throughout the town it is possible to spot the effect of every era since it was found.

Boasting six museums, including the award winning ‘Tide and Time’ museum, there is endless history to be explored.

Yarmouth was often frequented by Admiral Lord Nelson himself, with the port being populated with wealthy merchants and customers alike.

To get to know the town even more, it is definitely recommended to take a guided heritage walk to learn everything, from the medieval wall to the Fishermen’s Hospital.
