Caister on Sea Beach

Firstly the negatives. Parking is cash only and doesn’t give any change, in this day and age can’t believe you can’t pay by card either by ringing a number or via the machine. A few people just left as they didn’t have any change. Car park itself is decent size sadly the toilets were closed, there is some public toilets on high street a short walk away if you need them. The positives, beach itself was wonderful we went at around 12pm on a Monday (kids were at school) and beach was pretty much deserted. Big stretch of sandy beach for the dogs to run on and we ended up walking to California and back. Seen other comments regarding dog poo everywhere but can’t say I saw much at all maybe a couple in two hours walking. We had a seal follow us in the sea which was great to see. When we got back to the car walked up to the brilliant fish and chip shop (yes that’s its name) and had a decent fish and chip lunch on the beach. Can’t say what it’s like in high season but for us it was a nice way to spend the afternoon just shame about the car park.

Was hard to find the beach as directions weren't clear,but once found it was great to walk through the dunes to the beach and then walk along listening to the waves breaking onto the shore, picking pebbles of multi and single colour, and enjoying the good weather of sunshine and slight breeze. Had to come off the beach as usual spoilt by rain. Toilets were very good and clean, marble and stone and nice to use.

The beach was very nice and there was an expensive outdoor car park nearby. With literally nothing else around there, no shops, arcades, food places, I find it cheeky to charge those prices for very little around and for a car park that could do with a lot of maintenance. Besides, there's free parking on the side roads.

There's nothing there at all. A few acade shops couple of chippys and a hotel. The only thing good is if you've got children who like playing on the sand then you'll save money. One thing that stands out was the public toilets,absolutely clean.

Beautiful beach to spend the day. You will need beach shoes though if you want to go in the sea due to pebbles. One of my favourite places to go during the summer.
