Sizewell Beach

A wide, open beach, popular with fishermen and dog walkers

The small fishing village of Sizewell is home to a wild beach, backed by dunes.



The predominantly shingle beach sits adjacent to Minsmere and is off the beaten track, so if you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle this stretch is ideal.

Overlooked by the Power Station, the beach is reached by travelling through the village, and there is parking nearby., There is a small cafe, Sizewell Tea, in the village serving drinks and a range of food..
