Great Yarmouth
Probably the most popular of the east coast resorts, Great Yarmouth is about half an hour east of the historic city of Norwich . The modern town has little to rave about, and most of its medieval past has long since gone. But its popular sandy beaches, and location at the centre of the Norfolk Broads makes it a magnet for tourists throughout the summer months.
The Norfolk Broads is the term given to a large expanse of waterways that traverse the area west of Great Yarmouth. Three rivers combine with some natural lakes, and some that have resulted from centuries of peat cutting, to form a relaxing boating holiday paradise.
Not too far away are the historic market towns of Bury St Edmunds and Burnham Market, and the Royal Family's country retreat at Sandringham , all of which are interesting and worth a trip.
