Thetford - all beaches

This charming coastal town boasts a serene atmosphere, with only a single narrow road leading to its shores. Visitors can rest assured that they won't be met with hordes of tourists. The beach itself is home to a privately owned fort, though unfortunately the old polygon behind it is inaccessible due to a nearby river. Despite this, the town has a number of intriguing buildings to explore. Additionally, there are unique pig fields on either side of the road that are sure to bring a smile to any traveler's face.

This beach is absolutely stunning, with various levels to explore on foot. It's teeming with natural beauty, and we even stumbled upon a glowing bug one night. It's hands down my top pick for a beach destination, and the kids adore it just as much.

This stretch of sand and natural beauty is an absolute must-see, even if you happen to visit during the off-season. Whether you're in the mood for a leisurely stroll or simply seeking some much-needed R&R, this beach has got you covered. The only downside? It's a shame that not a single cafe was open come late September. We could have really used a caffeine boost to fully appreciate this idyllic spot. Alas, such is life.

The beach, which is located approximately a 5-minute stroll away from Fen Farm caravan park, is quite pleasant. It consists of a mixture of sand and pebbles, with an abundance of seashells scattered about. It appeared to be well-maintained and surprisingly peaceful during our visit, despite it being the school summer break.
