Walberswick Beach

This unspoiled stretch of sand and shingle lies across the River Blyth from Southwold, accessible by a charming chain ferry that adds to the village's timeless appeal. Popular with artists and nature lovers, the beach offers excellent crabbing opportunities from the old wooden pier, while the village itself maintains its traditional character with thatched cottages, a historic pub, and reed beds that provide sanctuary for bitterns and other rare birds.
