Great Yarmouth in General ... situated at the mouth of the River Yare, 30km east of the city of Norwich, and has a popular beach attracting large numbers of tourists each year.

Newest Review: ... sandy beach and clean north sea are among the highlights for me, but these would be nothing without the quality amenities that are within touching distance of any part of the beach. You can find everything you would want as a family, couple or group of friends along this sea front. There are countless amusement arcades, lots of well placed bars and cafes and no shortage of hotels. Additional ... more

 ... attractions like the Sea Life Centre and the Tower itself are interspersed amongst the usual sort of sea front goings on. There are some wonderful park areas and some huge and interesting crazy golf courses. From one end to the other you can find...more

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. The beautiful sandy beach and clean north sea are among the ...  Read the complete review

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.

Well, i thought i would drop by and write a review about my current home, Great Yarmouth. Im currently a student in Norwich but i live in Great Yarmouth and travel in. I have been here just over 3 years but have had family live here for many years so i always used to visit as a child - so ive seen a lot of changes and development over the years. Great Yarmouth is a seaside town in East Anglia. We are located around 117 miles away from London, and have a population of 47,300. We are most often considered a holiday town, but be assured, people do live and work here! Work is currently being undergone on a new outer harbor, which intends to take ...  Read the complete review

I have been to great yarmouth a great number of times in fact we have a holiday caravan there. Great Yarmouth is a very typical seaside town. To some people it may be considered tacky , but in my opinion its a great little town. Its not the most glamourous of holiday towns and could do with updating quite a lot, but its undergoing development at the moment to improve the sea front and main promenade which is making a real impact. You can have a lovely stroll along the sea front which is littered with arcades, food outlets and sweet shops, if your feet get tired take a carridge ride from one end to the other! The local fair ...  Read the complete review

For just about everybody Can be a bit boring for teenagers under 18

Small size, good walking, off the tourist trail Lack of public transport, might be seen as "too quiet"

nice friendly place, a few claims to fame no nightlife, excluding kebabs, pubs etc.

A wonderful place to escape to. You might get stranded if the weather turns!


Very beautiful natural place. None except it is often windy.
