Plenty of parking here at the beach and possibly the best fish and chips in the area. There's a great walk to Walberswick from here if you head north along the beach and if you head south along the cliff you come to the monastery ruins.

Destination of the famous Dunwich Dynamo. There’s a hut selling ice cream and fish and chip restaurant.

The finale of the Dynamo, not sure I've been there at any other time apart from hearing about the houses falling into the sea. Venture away from the sea to see some ruins close by and are not far from Minsmere nature reserve.
The hut on the beach serves the usual assortment of hot and cold food.
