Lowestoft's fine sandy South Beach is the main resort beach in North Suffolk. The beach is situated just south of Claremont Pier and is enjoyed by both visitors and residents alike. It has received a Blue Flag award for its clean waters and has been recognised by the Tourist Board in the past.
The beach offers a range of facilities, including lawn bowls, tennis courts, restaurants, cafes, and a variety of seafront hotels and guest houses. Visitors can also find close parking, toilets, and a seasonal lifeguard service, which operates from 31st May to 1st September. The beach is ideal for various watersports, such as swimming, surfing, windsurfing, and jet-skiing. Additionally, there are children's play areas, including the Children's Corner and the Royal Green adjacent to the promenade, which features activities like Crazy Golf.
A successful events area has been established at Royal Green, adjacent to the promenade, which hosts various events throughout the year. The beach is easily accessible, with a refurbished seafront and promenade providing easy access to the sand. There is also pay-and-display car parking nearby, as well as a Visitor Centre located in the East Point Pavilion, which provides local information.
Please note that dogs are not allowed on South Beach between May and September.
