Great Holidays Spent By The Sea


The film starts at Yarmouth beach, with families playing in the water and building sandcastles. But the beach is not all Great Yarmouth has to offer! Two miles of seafront attractions include horse racing, tennis and amusement rides. Scenes of the town promote its open-air Market, as well as the picturesque Great Yarmouth ‘rows’ and the Nelson monument. The film ends on a Great Yarmouth sunset, followed by illuminations at Great Yarmouth at night time.
