About Covehithe Beach

Covehithe Beach is a secluded and peaceful spot, offering a serene escape into nature's beauty. Known for its dramatic cliffs and rapidly eroding coastline, the beach provides a unique landscape that captivates photographers and nature lovers.

The beach is accessible via a footpath from the village, revealing a quiet stretch of sand and shingle, perfect for contemplative walks and bird watching.

Visiting Covehithe Beach

Getting there

From Ipswich, take the A12 north towards Lowestoft. At Kessingland, turn left onto the B1127 towards Wrentham. In Wrentham, turn right onto the A12, then soon after, turn left towards Covehithe following the local road signs. Park in the village and follow the footpath signs directing you towards the beach.

Parking

Parking is limited to the roadside in Covehithe village. Ensure you park considerately, without obstructing local traffic or driveways. From the village, a footpath leads you to the beach, which is a short walk away.

Toilets

Due to its unspoiled nature, there are no facilities directly at Covehithe Beach. The nearest toilets would be found in nearby villages such as Wrentham or Southwold.

Safety

Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
