It is nice to see a boating lake, and it would be nice to see it in the summer with people using it, from he Waterways website : The Venetian Waterways and Boating Lake have been an integral part of Great Yarmouth’s seafront landscape since their construction in the 1920s. Situated at the northern end of Marine Parade, the Boating Lake was first opened in 1926, followed by the Venetian Waterways in 1928 – designed by S. P. Thompson and built as part of a relief work scheme for the local unemployed after the First World War.T

Just in front of the KOOLUNGA HOUSE. Built in 1826 for John Garnham, naval officer under name of Hill House. After fighting against Napoleon, spent the rest of his life on this seaside. Family donated for public enjoyment and personal quietude.

Nice cycling area. Wide seafront that can be a good place to learn cycling. Bring more kids and little bicycles.

The dunes scenery is impressive in its scale, and the turbines are surprisingly close to shore.

A lifting bridge so sometimes you might have to wait to pass. Good views along Yarmouth's quayside.

There is a segregated cycle lane running alongside the main promenade road behind the beach but in the summer season it's also used by the local tourist 'train' as well as lots of pedestrians wandering into it. Ok if you're cruising slowly and don't mind dodging obstacles but otherwise stick to the proper road.
