Aldeburgh
Aldeburgh
has remained largely unspoilt by modern tourism, with many
long-established family-run businesses still making up the
majority of the High Street.
Local
fishermen still operate from the long shingle beach, and
sell their catch from small wooden huts dotted along the
beach.
Where
it has come, the expansion has been largely in the increased
number of stylish restaurants, 'foodie' shops, art galleries
and expensive clothes shops!!.
There
is therefore plenty to do in Aldeburgh itself, although
if you do want to explore further, nearby Southwold is worth
a visit, as well as other small villages along the coast.

Seafront
and Beach
The
wonderful pebble beach stretches for miles, providing hours
of fun for the kids. The seafront properties set back from
the beach are painted in the wonderful bright colours typical
of this part of the coast, and provide a perfect backdrop
to the daily activities of the fishermen on the beach. |

Restaurants
/ Cafes
There
are restaurants, cafes and pubs to suit most tastes - as well
as a couple of traditional Fish and Chip shops!!
Our
particular favourites are Munchies (for tasty
snacks, sandwiches etc), 152 (), or the famous
Lighthouse Restaurant, renowned for its excellent
seafood. |

Shopping
Aldeburgh
has plenty to keep the dedicated shopper busy for hours!!
Stylish
clothes shops abound, together with tasteful gift shops, an
excellent cook's shop, and a number of art galleries and craft
shops to suit most wallets.
Aldeburgh
is also a delight for serious foodies, with fresh fish available
direct from the fishermen most days, as well as a number of
delicatessens and food shops selling local produce. |
