I missed posting yesterday as we were travelling home from a glorious long weekend in Southwold. It’s one of our favourite places and a great place to unwind, relax and enjoy a wonderful stretch of the English coastline. Why do we like it?
Let me show you around …
There’s a quirky pier jutting out to sea
There’s some of the best chocolate and gelato shops
The town is watched over by a historic lighthouse
There’s a beautiful beach for early morning dog walks
And sand dunes
It’s extremely dog friendly
Beach huts, I love a colourful beach hut, usually I take a picture of the front of them but this day I sneaked a photo of the roofs peeking out over the sand dunes.
Did I mention the gelato?
And the quirky water feature on the pier, when the clock strikes the figures drop their shorts and squirt water
There’s some fascinating buildings
And the best fish and chip shop
Just look at that intricate brick work.
Have I convinced you that you need to visit as well? I am available for guided tours 😊

Your photos show a lovely get away. The bathtub clock gave me a chuckle.
You've definitely convinced me of the need to visit - are your tour guide rates reasonable??
I am definitely convinced....and I'm seeing travel planner in your future!! So glad you had such a nice time away!! Hope your week is going well too!
The pier has some quirky exhibits that's for sure!
Very reasonable and I can be there in 2 hours!
It was lovely and because we have been a few times now we feel at home as soon as we arrive!
My Lauren was enchanted by everything in the UK. And your photos from getaway trips and strolls down to the neighborhood shops, make me want to take the next flight over. We just have to try gelato, found a place to get it. Maybe tomorrow - we are looking for things to do. I always like your beach hut photos and am reminded of the beach huts in New England. The photo in this post is especially interesting with the waves of beach grass blowing behind them. So glad Coco was able to join you.
Great photos! I love spending time at the beach, any time of year. It's a very pleasant rest for me.
I have almost convinced myself that gelato is a more healthier version of ice cream - it's certainly tasty! I love the old fashioned seaside towns that haven't succumbed to amusement arcades and fast food outlets, there's such a lovely atmosphere
I still have many places to visit in England on my list. This is one of them!
