Situated just north of Lowestoft on the Suffolk coast, Corton Beach boasts an unspoiled expanse of sand and shingle. Ideal for nature enthusiasts and families, the beach offers ample space, a tranquil ambiance, and generally a safe environment for swimming.
The beach features a combination of coarse sand and shingle, delineated by wooden groynes, with a spacious grassy area behind it, separated by a concrete walkway.
