27th August 2025 forecasted to be hot, again, too hot to head inland so we decide to spend the day at the beach – but not at our beach. We hop a bus to take us south of the county border to Lowestoft. Our plan is to walk the beach to the fishing village of Pakefield (because I love their boats), and back. Sunscreen on, let’s go
Lowestoft is an international port. True, it hasn’t the capacity of the big Channel ports, and it has to open its bridges to allow the big ships to enter. A Lifeboat man stands on constant watch 🔼 The port is also a magnet for weekend sailors; here we see the club house 🔽
It’s always pleasant to walk Lowestoft’s prom. Plenty of seats provided too, so we can sit and watch the waves roll in 🔼🔽
At the end of Lowestoft’s prom is Pakefield’s prom. Smooth transition. If it weren’t for the change in the beach (from soft sand to harsh stone) we’d never realise we’d arrived. Though that church is a giveaway! 🔼🔽
Boats. Boats, boats, boats, that’s what I love about this beach 🔼🔽⏬
Where do they find the weatherproofed materials to protect their fishing boats? It reads: From Birmingham to Barcelona incl taxes £39.90 🔽
Stepping back, atop the low cliffs, for a longer view 🔼🔽
Back at Lowestoft, the tide’s coming in 🔼🔽 seaward of harbour’s mouth
That’s all folks. We’re off to find our fish and chips, the perfect finish to the day













Oh gosh, I’m envious–your photos are Beautiful!
