Hopton Beach — Local services in Great Yarmouth

Secluded beach mostly used by visitors staying at the Hopton Haven Holiday Park, which gives them direct access to the beach. It's not as vast as say Great Yarmouth or Gorleston on Sea beaches, which are both a few miles up the road, but it's lovely if you just want to get some nice yellow sand between your toes and feel the water etc. My wife and son did go for a dip last summer (2023), and they really enjoyed it. It doesn't get too busy, and you can walk along the beach but do mind the huge bolders (to stop erosion of the coastline along these parts). There are stairs down to the beach but watch it can slippery when wet. Also, I don't think it has wheelchair access, if it does, it might be tricky to navigate. Do your homework. Yarmouth and Gorleston beaches would be better for those with disabilities.

It's still a lovely little beach to enjoy. There are no lifeguards, nor any public restrooms. You will need to come prepared and do your business in your holiday home on the Haven site.

I think it's dog-friendly as well, but it's best to check with Haven Holiday Park if planning a visit.

The best time to visit is in the summer, though we also visited during October half-term (2024) and found the weather too unpredictable but still enjoyed a scroll on the beach. I will try and find photos from summer...

Hopton Village Holiday Park is a really good place for families. The beach is accessible, but not so much if you can't walk so well. Activities should be booked in advance, especially those included in the price, if you don't want to find that they are fully booked. Minimarket charges top dollar, bar prices are what you might expect, as long as you're not expecting working men's club prices. Our grandchildren had...
