We took the opportunity to go for a sea swim while checking up on a sick relative yesterday. If you can be arsed to drive to the suffolk coast you can have a beach entirely to yourself. Wasnt another person for at least 500m+ in either direction!
I've got a Friday off work in a couple of weeks. The original reason for booking it isn't happening so I'm planning to go to the beach instead. Suffolk is one option.
I'm under the impression that most facilities at beaches are shut anyway so no big difference?
Personally I prefer beaches without facilities that you have to hike into anyway.
