The Las Vegas of the East Coast, Great Yarmouth is an unmissable excursion for anyone on a Broads adventure. Take a train or bus from Bungay or Beccles, or navigate the River Yare and you’ll be in the heart of this thriving seaside tourist town, which has all the novelties and amusements you can imagine, as well as an incredible array of restaurants, pubs and snack bars serving meals, drinks and sweet treats of all kinds. If you’ve got kids, they’ll love a visit to Joyland, the seafront amusement park, and everyone can enjoy the unique shopping opportunities along Regent Street.
Great Yarmouth is where the Broads and the East Coast come together, and is a truly unmissable destination for anyone who wants to enjoy the full East Anglian experience. If you’re planning on navigating the River Yare, Yarmouth is a great destination, as it has everything from food to entertainment to accommodation in case you’re in need of a night on dry land. If you’re travelling in the summer, make sure you check out the fantastic circus shows at the Hippodrome, or some of the classic comedy performances at Britannia Pier.
Mooring at Great Yarmouth couldn’t be easier: The Yacht Station provides free moorings for Broads boats, so you can secure your vessel and explore the town. If you’re ending your Broads adventure at Oulton Broad, make sure you take the opportunity to visit Great Yarmouth first, as the town looks its best from the water.
So whether you’re looking for a fun-packed stop-off point or you’re looking for a way to experience the very best of British seaside life and culture, make sure you don’t miss out on Great Yarmouth.
