Pakefield Beach — Attraction in East Suffolk

Absolutely gorgeous beach, I’m lucky enough to live within 5 mins drive of the beach, there is a small car park at the bottom of clifftonville road, just off the bend, down a short stoney track, steps to access the beach, then walk to the beach from there, if you walk along the beach to the right of you, you can walk to kessingland , seaglass can be found, and I even found a part of Roman grey ware pottery 🙂👍🏻.

I didn’t drive/pay but those that did said it was good! Oh cute beach houses also. Didn’t use toilets by they are there and saw a tap for water by them too. Not any beach shops which is a shame but don’t think it’s that kind of beach.. would be good...
