Beach Overview
Just a river's breadth away from Southwold, Walberswick beckons with its stone and sand beach. Wild and windswept, the beach embraces Walberswick Nature Reserve to the north, providing views of Southwold to the north and Sizewell to the south. Esteemed travel experts at The Telegraph have lauded Walberswick, listing it among the 20 greatest beaches in Britain. To access this untamed stretch, navigate through the windswept dunes.
A contrast to its neighbour Southwold, Walberswick Beach is less crowded and venture south towards Dunwich, and you might find the entire beach to be your private sanctuary.
