All about Hemsby
You might think you’ve suddenly landed in Malibu or some tropical paradise as you gaze out onto the miles and miles of golden sands that define Hemsby. But then the wind whipping off the North Sea reminds you that you’re actually located only eight miles from Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. Hemsby is a town with twin personalities. The village of Hemsby sits a mile inland and feels like the quintessential English hamlet with quaint painted cottages, winding streets, and a medieval church that’s well worth a visit. Then there’s Hemsby Beach, with its exquisite shoreline; clean, safe bathing waters; and imposing sand dunes that shelter sun-seekers from the bitterest of breezes. It’s perfect for families and very dog friendly.
As well as having the usual amusements, fish and chip shops, and distractions for kids, the beach also retains a number of fascinating World War II defences with anti-tank blocks and concrete bunkers. And perhaps above all, Hemsby is a fantastic place to sit back and relax while listening to the beat of the sea.
What are the top things to do in Hemsby?
Lost World Adventure Golf
Dinosaurs and mini-golf — talk about an unbeatable combination! This elaborately entertaining distraction is a great place to perfect your putt while attempting to avoid the jaws of a pesky T-Rex that’s determined to snaffle your ball. The course sits alongside a number of amusement centres and attractions for kids; slightly further afield, just outside the village, is Hirsty’s Family Fun Park, featuring a mega maze and drive-in movies.
St Mary’s Church
Once you’ve had your fill of the Hemsby Beach amusements, head to the tranquil surroundings of St Mary’s in the village. Parts of the structure date back to the 14th century, and there are a pair of fascinating 13th-century coffin slabs situated in the beautiful churchyard.
Winterton Dunes Nature Reserve
Just north of Hemsby, just along the coast, you’ll discover the glorious Winterton Dunes, where you’ll witness a whole host of natural treasures. In October and January, grey seals have their pups on the beach (make sure you keep a safe distance), while in spring the whole area is beset by the mating calls of natterjack toads.
