It is nice to see a boating lake, and it would be nice to see it in the summer with people using it, from he Waterways website : The Venetian Waterways and Boating Lake have been an integral part of Great Yarmouth’s seafront landscape since their construction in the 1920s. Situated at the northern end of Marine Parade, the Boating Lake was first opened in 1926, followed by the Venetian Waterways in 1928 – designed by S. P. Thompson and built as part of a relief work scheme for the local unemployed after the First World War.T

It's now a card museum with an entrance fee. There's nothing visible from the road.

The dunes scenery is impressive in its scale, and the turbines are surprisingly close to shore.

There is a segregated cycle lane running alongside the main promenade road behind the beach but in the summer season it's also used by the local tourist 'train' as well as lots of pedestrians wandering into it. Ok if you're cruising slowly and don't mind dodging obstacles but otherwise stick to the proper road.

Scenic views over the dune landscape.

A new bridge (Feb2024) from the port area of Great Yarmouth saves traveling back up the estuary while walking the coast. It is a twin-leaf bascule bridge that cost £121 million to build. On my walk it opened and close very quickly, impressive.

Caister Castle has a 100ft / 33m high tower built in the 15th Century by Sir John Fastolf, who was an inspiration for William Shakespeare's Falstaff. The castle fell into ruin after 1600 but the tower is still intact and can be climbed.

The fact that Caister-on-sea beach is less popular with tourists than Great Yarmouth is definitely your gain! Backed by sand dunes the beach stretches for miles and it's likely you will enjoy this sandy beach mostly to yourself. An historic lifeboat station here dates back to 1791.
