The main beach at Great Yarmouth was voted 3rd in a UK poll of the best sandcastle-building beaches and that’s confirmed by the number of families that visit each year. In addition, there is a safety tag facility for young children, where they can be given a wristband to wear that helps to identify them if they wander off from their families or get lost on the beach. Each of the main beaches has its own community, with shops, amusements and attractions.
