Location

Beach Road runs through the heart of the coastal village of Scratby, a small Norfolk community about five miles north of Great Yarmouth. The road leads almost directly to the sea, you can reach the sandy beach in around five to ten minutes on foot. The coastline here is open and unspoilt, with a mix of low grassy cliffs and wide sand that feels far more relaxed than the busier resort towns further south.

The village itself has a handful of practical shops including a convenience store, takeaway, and a well-known bakery, along with seasonal cafés and a garden centre. For everyday groceries or larger shopping trips, Caister-on-Sea and Great Yarmouth are both within a short drive.

Scratby is well placed for leisure and days out. The nearby Norfolk Broads National Park offers scenic walks, boat hire and nature reserves, while Great Yarmouth provides cinemas, the Pleasure Beach, and a wide range of restaurants and shops. To the north, Winterton-on-Sea and Hemsby add more coastal walks and quiet dunes for a change of pace.

Transport connections are straightforward: regular bus services run through the village towards Great Yarmouth and Hemsby, and drivers can join the A149 or A47 for routes to Norwich and the wider county. Most residents find it easy to balance coastal living with access to work, schools, and services in the larger towns nearby.
