Just recently, a group of my friends were booked on to an event up on the Norfolk coast. Why Norfolk? I didn't stop to wonder, but I did know I was a little busy to be heading there myself.
Until something happened. It's irrelevant what it was, but I made a last-minute decision to get booked on. Although there was no accommodation available, I was too late.
Scouting around on Booking.com I found accommodation close by and I was promised I could get to the venue on seperate day tickets! What a win.
Then, as I arrived, I realised this place puts the good old British seaside town on the map, and it needed to be filmed! The place was so cheap to stay in, and accommodated 5 people. Even better.
If you’re dreaming of a classic British beach holiday with sandy shores, arcades, and a laid-back atmosphere, Norfolk’s coast has some brilliant gems and two of them are nestled right in Hemsby. I recently visited Hemsby Beach Holiday Park and its neighbour, Bermuda Holiday Park, to explore what each has to offer for families, couples, or anyone seeking a nostalgic seaside escape.
Hemsby Beach Holiday Park
This park sits just a short stroll from the beach and offers a real sense of holiday tradition. Think: pastel-coloured chalets, a family-friendly club house, and plenty of activities for kids. The entertainment is lively, with shows and games running most evenings during peak season. The indoor pool is a great bonus for rainy days, and there’s a good mix of accommodation options for different budgets.
What stood out to me most was the location. You can walk from your door straight onto the sand dunes and down to Hemsby Beach itself, which is perfect for early morning beach walks or fish and chips at sunset.
Personally, I opted for some lovely Gluten free cake in the coffee shop en route to the beach. It was fabulous and the coffee was great too.
I enjoyed my solo trot that morning, although i was feeling slightly lonesome until later, when i met up with my friends.
Bermuda Holiday Park
Just around the corner, Bermuda Holiday Park offers a quieter, more relaxed vibe. It feels slightly more residential than Hemsby Beach Holiday Park, making it ideal if you're after a peaceful break with fewer crowds. The chalets are simple but clean, and there's a calm, community feel throughout.
It’s close enough to enjoy everything Hemsby has to offer — amusements, cafés, beach shops — while giving you a more tranquil base. This could be a great choice if you’re travelling without kids or want somewhere restful after a day out exploring Norfolk’s coast.
Which One Is Right for You?
-
Choose Hemsby Beach Holiday Park if you want on-site entertainment, a pool, and a classic holiday park experience right near the action.
-
Choose Bermuda Holiday Park if you prefer peace, a slower pace, and a more local feel while still being near the beach.
Things to Do Nearby
Both parks are well placed for exploring the Norfolk Broads, Great Yarmouth, or simply enjoying a beachside break with long walks, arcade fun, and ice cream by the sea.
Final Thoughts
Whichever park you choose, Hemsby has that unmistakable coastal charm. Both holiday parks offer a taste of simple, easygoing fun — the kind you remember from childhood, with a few modern touches. Whether you’re travelling as a family, couple, or solo adventurer, this stretch of Norfolk’s coast delivers the perfect UK staycation.
