BLACKSHORE

Located on the south side of Southwold, Blackshore and Southwold Harbour are bursting with traditional nautical character. Don’t miss: All the fresh fish you could need from Sole Bay Fish Co, eat in their restaurant or takeaway from their deli counter. A relaxed, hearty menu just off the beach at The Sail Loft. An ­adrenaline filled ride of your life on the open sea with a Coastal Voyager or a more relaxed boat ride to see the seals on Scroby Sands. Jumping on the row boat ferry to Walberswick, a stone’s throw across the River Blyth. The t­ raditional old fisherman’s pub, The Harbour Inn overlooking the River Blyth. Mrs T’s fabulously fresh fish and chips, with delicious homemade mushy peas. Perfect beach for: Running through the dunes and escaping the crowds back in the town.
