Life's a blast on Coastal Voyager! Trips to suit all from high speed, adrenaline fuelled sea blasts to gentle river trips with a stop for dinner. We also offer a three hour round trip to see the seals at Scroby sands and the wind farm before returning to Southwold. Keen skippers can also have a go at driving the Voyager under the instruction of our experienced skippers, a great gift or way to celebrate a special occasion. We also offer private hire and tailor made trips as well as taking commercial bookings.
2. Denes Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 60 reviews
Great for a family day out at the beach. Large expanse of beach backed by sand dunes. Ideal for relaxing with a picnic, swimming, sandcastles etc.. Dog friendly. Ample Car Parking with Public Toilets available at the rear of the dunes.

Best beach for miles? That’s a matter of taste, of course. But my case is simply as follows: it’s a sandy beach, shallow enough sea to be reasonably warm, often great waves to splash around in, shelter from wind in the groynes, fish, chips and ice cream on the pier, ample parking, and a great promenade and town for those that fancy a stroll. Aldeburgh and Dunwich are lovely for other reasons, but this is a winner for us because it has everything for the kids

Upon arrival we was greeted by a lovely gentleman who was really friendly and made us feel really welcome. He even noticed our Yorkshire accent ???? Greens are really well kept and is a really nice walk if your partner doesn't play. I suggest calling in to book your tee time as i found it quite hard getting through to the pro shop. All in all great day out on our holidays. ????
