Beautiful walk across the marshes to a huge deserted beach. Amazingly quiet given its a sunday in August. Had hoped to wade over to Scolt Head Island but tide too high and, thanks to a new ferry boat service (well it wasnt there 15 years ago) the Island was full of people while the mainland beach was empty.
I had almost forgotten just how special this place is. Sea rocket seed-heads add colour to the beach.
Swimming though is still a pain - acres of flat beach means ages of wading through knee high water. The water, once reached, was lovely and clear, clean and warm.

I think Scolt Head island has become a lot more popular since every article in the weekend supplements about the coast or swimming seems to mention it. Also generally going on to say how empty it is as well compared to the beach even though finding empty beaches in Norfolk is not really a problem. It's the little adventure aspect that I think is really attractive. Definitely when me and M.G. were in the Lakes last year swimming out to a deserted island was the highlight.Looks glorious great photos. x
