Hemsby is known for its beautiful sandy beaches, vibrant tourist scene, and a range of holiday activities. It has been a popular travel and tourism destination for tourists and holidaymakers for many years.

    Only a few miles north of Great Yarmouth you'll find Hemsby and Newport which together form a lively village seaside resort and an ideal touring base for Great Yarmouth, the Norfolk Broads and surrounding area.
    Hemsby is divided into two main areas: the village and the beach. The village has a number of shops and attractive buildings, including the 12th century church of St. Mary the Virgin. Beach Road plays host to a range of eateries and amusements including a fun fair and bingo, crazy golf and several clubs providing family entertainment including dancing and nightly discos.

The holiday park features a range of accommodations, including caravans, chalets, and camping facilities, making it a popular choice for families and those seeking a traditional seaside vacation. The park provides a variety of amenities and entertainment options, including swimming pools, amusement arcades, restaurants, bars, and live entertainment.
    For those looking for additional activities, Hemsby offers a range of attractions and things to do, especially on Beach Road where you'll find lots of amusement arcades, cafe's and shops. The village has a small but lively amusement park called The Fun Park featuring thrilling rides, go-karts, mini-golf, and other attractions for both children and adults. There are also several arcades, shops, and restaurants in the area, providing entertainment and dining options.
    Nature enthusiasts can explore the nearby Norfolk Broads, a network of rivers, lakes, and marshes famous for its diverse wildlife and scenic landscapes.

Other nearby places of interest include the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the historic town of Great Yarmouth, and the charming coastal villages along the Norfolk coastline.
    In summary, Hemsby is a charming holiday village in Norfolk, England, offering a beautiful coastline, a vibrant holiday park, a range of attractions and activities, and easy access to the wider Norfolk region.

What I couldn't beleave was at the end of the program it said the local council had given planning permission for sea defences your losing a place at a rapid rate and you still got to have planning permission the mind boggles at the need for red tape in this situation!

    Hemsby is how seaside towns used to be.. your comment about like being on a desert island describes just how great the beach is.. discovered hemsby about 8 years ago... the erosion is so sad... for few years we,d walk along the beach to dunes cafe (AT WINTERTON) sadly the dunes cafe succumbed to the sea... comment about overlaying old map does show how rapidly erosion is happening... global warming? Ps your video is best ive watched.. not too long ... not too many personal comments.. and it comes across you enjoyed making the video... thank you

    So you don’t want to buy an ice cream, from an independent seller, because they only take cash. Remember that cash is king and these independent tradesmen rely on small sales for cash because every digital/card payment incurs a cost to the seller. Shame on you.

    Spent a week here with some folk with learning disabilities. Awful, awful, AWFUL place! It’s not a holiday I readily own up to having as I have my street cred to think of!! Worse than Butlins at Skegness! Just too “crowded, kiss me quick and candy floss” for my liking. I prefer quieter seasides and river walks. Each to their own.
