Coast + Culture
Great Yarmouth
Great Yarmouth offers classic seaside exuberance with room to wander beyond the famous Golden Mile of amusements, rides and attractions. Enjoy a coastline of wide, sandy beaches and rolling dunes. The traditional fun of the seafront, including The Hippodrome, the UK’s last remaining circus building with water spectacular, and Pleasure Beach, with its iconic wooden rollercoaster, sits alongside a proud maritime story, with museums like Time & Tide and historic Row streets offering a slower counterpoint to the buzz.
Throughout the year, free festivals, fireworks and live shows add colour, from street performance to the circus skills of Out There. Come for the beach and retro fun, stay for the culture and history.
