Beach Golf

Miniature golf on the Norfolk coast, just east of Great Yarmouth - the sort of thing that sounds throwaway until you're actually standing there with a putter in hand and the sea breeze messing with your aim. Beach Golf is exactly what it says: a compact course where the holes wind past sand dunes and you can hear the waves while you're lining up a tricky putt around some daft obstacle.

It's the kind of place that works brilliantly for families staying at Haven Seashore or Haven Caister-on-Sea - both within easy reach - when the weather's decent and the kids need an hour of structured fun that isn't a theme park. The course itself is short enough that under-tens won't get bored halfway through, but there's enough going on to keep adults mildly entertained rather than just shepherding children around. On a quiet afternoon, it's genuinely pleasant; on a packed bank holiday, probably less so.

No frills here - this is a proper seaside throwback, the kind of place that's been doing the same thing for years without feeling the need to rebrand itself. Worth stopping by if you're based at one of the local holiday parks and need a break from the beach or amusements. Budget an hour including the putter-round, maybe grab an ice cream after. Bring coins if you need them - always sensible with these places.
