Southwold Waterfront Beach Huts Return to the North side of the Pier

Beach huts return to the north of Southwold pier

Earlier this year, following some heavy storms, some of the concrete slabs that protect against the sea and provide a base for a number of Beach Huts collapsed around jan/feb. Along the sea defences to the north of Southwold pier work has been completed to re-fortify the sections that had fallen in, as well as the neighbouring sections. On my recent visit in late july 2025 I was pleasantly surprised to see the Huts are back in their rightful place and the views do not disappoint.

With the skies looking so dramatic and at sunset I was happy to snap more pictures, here are a few.

the skies above Southwold can be fantastic at any time of the year, and the model boating lake, though turbulent in these photos can be like a mirror surface at times.

The biggest draw for tourists are the amazing beaches, but there's more to Southwold than just the sand, well worth a wander around.
