Gorleston-on-Sea, often just called Gorleston, is a coastal town in Norfolk with a long sandy beach, a busy community feel, and a slightly quieter vibe than its bigger neighbour, Great Yarmouth. It sits right at the mouth of the River Yare, offering a mix of seaside charm and practical town life. With its traditional seafront, wide promenade and low cliffs looking out over the sea, it's the sort of place people keep coming back to—some for the nostalgia, others for the fresh air and no-fuss atmosphere.

Historically, Gorleston was a fishing port long before it became known as a seaside destination. It originally grew as a settlement focused on herring fishing and maritime trade, eventually being absorbed into the borough of Great Yarmouth in the early 20th century. The town still holds onto its identity though, and you can see hints of its maritime past in the old buildings and the working harbour. These days, the population sits at around 25,000, made up of long-term locals, families who've settled near the sea, and a fair few visitors who liked it enough to stay.

Gorleston's main draw is its beach—a broad, sandy stretch that's popular without being overcrowded. There's a gentle slope to the sea, a traditional paddling pool for the kids, and a promenade lined with cafés, shelters, and ice cream huts. You'll also find the Pavilion Theatre right on the front, offering live performances and community shows. The nearby cliffs make for a lovely walk, especially at sunrise. Around the area, you've got Time and Tide Museum in Yarmouth, the English Heritage site of Burgh Castle with panoramic views, and National Trust gems like Horsey Windpump and the nearby Hickling Broad reserve. Everything feels within reach but never rushed.

If you're up for a bit of exploring, the rest of Norfolk opens up nicely. Norwich is full of character, with its mix of medieval architecture and indie spirit, plus a castle, cathedral and more than enough quirky shops and cafés. Head north and you'll hit the Norfolk Broads, perfect for a slow boat ride, wildlife watching or just mooching about riverside villages. The north Norfolk coast is a bit of a treasure too, with places like Holkham, Blakeney and Sheringham giving you that blend of countryside and coastline. It's a county that's made for pottering about.

Getting to Gorleston's pretty straightforward. The A47 gets you there by road, with easy links from Norwich and Lowestoft. While Gorleston itself doesn't have its own station, Great Yarmouth does, just a few miles up the road, with regular trains to Norwich and onwards to London. Buses run regularly into town from surrounding areas, and it's well set up for drivers, cyclists and walkers alike. The nearest airport is Norwich International, around 30 miles away, so you're not too far from a flight either.

Norfolk's a county that seems to keep its secrets close, but once you've been, you start to understand the draw. It's not shouty or showy—it just quietly gets under your skin. With its winding roads, broad fields, ancient churches and little towns where the pace never quite feels rushed, it's a place that suits those who like space and scenery. The coastlines are raw and real, the inland towns full of character, and there's always somewhere new to stumble across. Whether you're into birdwatching, boating, beachcombing or just a good cup of tea with a sea view, Norfolk delivers.
