Slaughden - all beaches

This tranquil beach offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Although it is primarily a pebble beach, during low tide, a small stretch of sand is exposed, providing a comfortable spot to lounge. While it may not be the ideal spot for dogs due to the pebbles, it still offers a peaceful setting for a leisurely stroll. It's important to note that high tide may not be the best time to visit, as the sandy area is only visible during very low tides. The beach and its surrounding area are well-maintained and there is a free car park located south of Thorpeness. While the sea may not be crystal clear due to the sand, the overall atmosphere of this beach is undeniably serene.

To be frank, I was a little skeptical about visiting Sizewell Beach which is located next to a Nuclear power station. But to my surprise, there were a lot of people there even on a chilly winter afternoon and some were even taking a dip in the water. Additionally, there is a lovely tearoom on site and an hour of free parking.

This charming coastal town boasts a serene atmosphere, with only a single narrow road leading to its shores. Visitors can rest assured that they won't be met with hordes of tourists. The beach itself is home to a privately owned fort, though unfortunately the old polygon behind it is inaccessible due to a nearby river. Despite this, the town has a number of intriguing buildings to explore. Additionally, there are unique pig fields on either side of the road that are sure to bring a smile to any traveler's face.
