Sizewell Beach, located on the stunning Suffolk coastline, is a wonderful place to refresh and refuel on your run. Cool off with a swim in the sea, relax on the grassy banks, or grab yourself a coffee or snack at the beach café.

Hiking

Sizewell Beach is a wild stretch of shingle, backed by sandy dunes. Despite being overlooked by the Sizewell nuclear power stations, it’s still a beautiful place for a walk. Both the Suffolk Coast Path and the Sandlings Walk long-distance trails amble along the coast here. For refreshment, there's a cafe in the nearby Sizewell village.
