Pakefield Beach

A really lovely beach that is dog friendly all year. A few cafes and pubs nearby and the parking is reasonably priced. We really enjoyed our day there for a quiet time by the sea.

Lovely peaceful basic beach, nice that dogs can explore here, seems a bit of a dog poopy beach tho, not sure how I feel about my baby playing on the sand? Think I will head towards Southwold or find other family beaches for baby to enjoy when weather is warmer! I’m still quite new to the area so don’t know many. Jolly sailor restaurant is good here and only place you can eat at it seems at the moment. There’s a tea house but that’s order and collect only. Parking is cheap here I am told. I didn’t drive/pay but those that did said it was good! Oh cute beach houses also. Didn’t use toilets by they are there and saw a tap for water by them too. Not any beach shops which is a shame but don’t think it’s that kind of beach.. would be good if was though!

Having researched Dog Friendly beaches near our base camp, we settled for Pakefield. A lovely beach with plenty of parking, mix of sand and shingle. We wandered along to the Dean's Beans coffee hut and had lovely service. Nearby is a small playground for the kids but area lacking in toilets so we chose an 11.30 pint at the OddFellows pub just off the sea front to use the facilities. After a 7hour trip from Somerset, this was just the laid back morning we needed!

Great to see the sun rise today. Weather really good to us. Got there around 4.15am, and the sun rose at 4.30am.Well worth the early start!

Clean open beaches, cycle paths and not full of trashy arcades. Free public toilets and beach huts to hire if needed.

What a great beach. Clean lovely sand and a sprinkling of cafes and pubs within walking distance.

Easy access with a very long beach .Be careful if heading along the beach towards Kessingland and keep away from the very unstable cliff face mainly of sand they are subject to a fall with no or very little warning ⚠️ so enjoy your walk but definitely keep your distance.

Beautiful long strech of beach, dogs allowed all year round, lots of parking available. Coffee hut & pub nearby.

Saw in the dawn at the Solstice, beautiful! Beach of small round pebbles and soft sand.

Pakefield Beach is a charming destination, although it does give off a rather basic vibe, almost like a place more suited for a dog walk than a leisurely beach visit.While the landscape is undoubtedly beautiful, I did find it difficult to fully enjoy sitting on the pebbles due to the presence of numerous spiders and insects. It's worth noting that there is no beach shop available, but thankfully, public toilets are provided for visitors' convenience.Despite the lack of certain amenities, the overall natural beauty of the beach makes it a worthwhile spot to explore and appreciate.
