In May this year, my boyfriend and I spent a week in Great Yarmouth, because it was cheap and it got us away for my birthday. I have been to Great Yarmouth many times and always seem to enjoy it so I knew we would have a good week. Turned out we had a great week, even though we spent nearly all of our money in the first 2 days and had to budget for the rest of the week! The rest of my review is based on the days when we only had £20 to live,in diary layout, to show that it can be done on a serious budget! *Tuesday* On Tuesday, we realised that we only had £20 a day to live in and £30 extra for food. We decided that the best option would be to buy food and ...  Read the complete review

Hottest day if the year so far so my we (a family of 4) decided to head for a day out in Great Yarmouth. My daughter is 14 and son 12. Was a Sunday and expected it to be jam packed but surprisingly it wasn't! First we decided to go round and have a look at some of the shops, we walked along this long street straight across the road from Joyland. Really tacky out of date clothes shops and shops selling a lot of tat. I can't believe these shops actually sell this stuff, but when I had a look at everyone during the day I realised that there is no such thing as fashion in Yarmouth-it simply does not exist! People just seem to wear anything and it ...  Read the complete review

Great Yarmouth is, for me, the best seaside resort in the UK. It really does have something for everyone and that includes a gorgeous stretch of sand rarely seen on these shores. I first went to Yarmouth as a small child and ended up going there every July for the next 16 years. It is fair to say I know every nuck and cranny of that golden 2 miles and have loved every minute of exploring it. As my needs and interests changed over the years, I never found myself growing out of the place as it was progressing all the time, whilst curiously managing to stay the same in a funny sort of way.

Great Yarmouth is RUBBISH. It's a disgrace to people who live here - me being on of the unfortunately. We aren't known for our amazing seaside getaway holidays anymore. We're the town where crime goes down all the time. The town with the amazing amounts of dog s***. The town full of derelict buildings, grumpy people and a town where walking home just isn't safe. C'mon people let's face it, the housing market has gone down for a reason. No one wants to buy houses here anymore. And whose to blame them? It's a filthy town and making Market Gates sparkly and pretty isn't going to take away our reputation. I am certainly not proud to say 'I live in Great Yarmouth'. It's bland, it's dangerous, it's tacky, it's a town I wouldn't pay money to visit on holiday - you people are crazy.
