Great Yarmouth

Carousel in Great Yarmouth

Great Yarmouth is one of the UK’s most popular seaside resorts, with an enviable mix of sandy beaches, attractions, entertainment, heritage and quality accommodation. 

Full of holiday surprises and contrasts, the area includes not only the resorts of Great Yarmouth and Gorleston-on-Sea but also 21 villages set in beautiful coastal and rural surroundings alongside the famous Norfolk Broads.

As well as 15 miles of glorious sandy beaches, there is a whole host of attractions waiting to be discovered. From seafront bowling to the thrills of the fairground, Great Yarmouth has something for all the family.

When the sun goes down, Great Yarmouth becomes a wonderland of colour as the illuminations light your way for a night out on the town to enjoy our restaurants, nightclubs, theatres and casinos.

Behind the glamour, glitter and bright lights, lies a charming town that is steeped in history. Discover one of the most complete medieval towns walls in England, the historic South Quay and Nelson’s ‘other’ column. 

Charles Dickens, who used many of the town’s characters and landmarks as an inspiration for his classic novel ‘David Copperfield’, described Great Yarmouth as ‘the finest place in the universe’. Who are we to argue?
