There are plenty of reasons why Great Yarmouth is hailed as one of the premier family holidaying spots on the Norfolk coast. For one, there's that long run of sandy beach, backed by dunes or boardwalks and set right in front of the town. Then there's the duo of piers – Britannia Pier and Wellington Pier – for all your bowling-cum-gaming arcade needs. And then there are the Norfolk Broads, where Great Yarmouth holiday rentals line world-class birding wetlands and boating rivers that are just perfect in the summer.
Great Yarmouth holiday rentals on the seafront of Norfolk offer doorstep access to one serious menagerie of family attractions. The historic Joyland amusement park has been there since 1949 and comes laden with smile-inducing vintage rides like Snails, and the Jet Cars that whirl around a pre-made track. More gasps of wonder will be heard over in the SEA LIFE Centre Great Yarmouth, where it's possible to feed the turtles and brush the rays, and even drop in on the sharks – if you dare.
While "fun in the sun" might sound a little ambitious for a British seaside resort, the point is that Great Yarmouth has all the bells and whistles of a bona fide family escape by the beach. There's sand – oodles of it – great for building castles and picnicking. There are gaming arcades and bowling alleys and cinema screens and more, all lining the Marine Parade, a place that seems tailor-made for those wholesome days on the Norfolk coast.
When the sun's shining and the weather is fine, Great Yarmouth really comes into its own. Unfortunately for this corner of East Anglia, there's enough rain and wind and even snow to fill all the tanks of the town's SEA LIFE aquarium. That's okay, though, because all that tends to come in the autumn and winter months, starting in October and ending in March. That leaves the hotter months of May, June, July and August to the beach hunters – book your Great Yarmouth holiday rentals then to be in for a family treat.
The nearest airport is in Norwich (NWI-Norwich Intl.), located 19.6 mi (31.5 km) from the city centre.
If you prefer to travel by train, Great Yarmouth Station, Berney Arms Station and Haddiscoe Station are the main stations in the area.
