Autumn in Great Yarmouth

Autumn is one of the best kept secrets of the Norfolk coast. As the summer crowds depart, Great Yarmouth takes on a different, quieter and more atmospheric character that many regular visitors prefer.

Beautiful Light

The autumn light on the Norfolk coast is stunning. Low sun creates dramatic skies and golden hues along the beach. Photographers love this time of year, and the wide open beaches provide perfect subjects.

Fewer Crowds

Attractions are quieter, beaches are emptier and restaurants are easier to book. You can enjoy Great Yarmouth at a relaxed pace without the summer bustle. Many attractions remain open through autumn, including the Sea Life Centre, museums and the stadium.

Seal Season Begins

From November, the grey seals start arriving at Horsey Beach, just 30 minutes away. This is one of Norfolk's most remarkable natural spectacles.

Great Yarmouth Racecourse

The flat racing season continues into October, with some of the year's most atmospheric meetings as the autumn light falls across the racecourse.
