About Southwold Beach

Overview

Southwold Beach sits below the town and its pier on the Suffolk Coast. The beach is backed by a promenade and rows of beach huts.

The shoreline is a mix of sand and shingle, with broader sandy areas exposed at low tide. The pier extends into the sea and is a prominent feature along the seafront.

Parking

Pay-and-display car parks are available near the seafront and in the town centre.

Access

Access is via steps and sloping paths from the promenade.

Getting there

Southwold is reached via local roads from the A12.
