  • This lovely little sand dune backed beach is just across the River Blythe from Southwold, which is within easy walking distance.

    A walk in the other direction will take you past the Walberswick Nature Reserve with its mix of marsh and heathland.

    The beach at Walberswick is just a short walk from the village which means all amenities are close at hand. Even if you don\‘t need anything it is worth the stroll up to have a look around this pretty little village.

    Walberswick is however best known as the home of “The British Open Crabbing Championship”. This takes place in the waterways behind the beach and the person catching the largest crab within 90 minutes is the winner!
