Gorleston Beach: Great Yarmouth's Hidden Gem

Gorleston Beach

Just a few minutes south of Great Yarmouth lies Gorleston-on-Sea, a stunning sandy bay that offers a more relaxed alternative to the bustling Golden Mile. With its sweeping crescent of golden sand, gentle waves and charming promenade, Gorleston is a favourite with families and those seeking a quieter beach experience.

Why Visit Gorleston

The beach is wide, clean and sheltered, making it ideal for swimming and building sandcastles. A children's splashpad provides extra fun on warm days, and there is a model yacht pond that has entertained generations of visitors. The promenade is lined with cafes, an ice cream parlour and amenities including toilets and changing facilities.

Gorleston Pavilion Theatre

The beautifully restored Gorleston Pavilion Theatre sits right on the clifftop overlooking the beach. This unique Edwardian seaside theatre hosts plays, musicals, pantomimes and live music throughout the year. Check their programme for upcoming shows during your visit.

Getting There from St George Hotel

Gorleston is just a 10-minute drive or short bus ride from St George Hotel. You can also walk along the riverside path for a scenic approach. After a day at Gorleston, return to your comfortable room at St George Hotel, starting at great rates.
