Wrabness Beach

Wrabness beach is not private , there is a footpath that runs along the shore to The Coign. Balhaven only own ABOVE HIGH MEAN WATER , do not allow unpleasant aggressive owners to intimidated you, they to are visitors to the village also , as these are second homes from April to October .

Walked down to beach from main road, but when arrived found there were no facilities. The tide was out and it’s basically deep mud to water, so not ideal day out.

i f*****g love it thank you god for making this place i am in love

Having driven to this beach, parking up on the side of a narrow road our first issue with the length of the walk to reach the beach, where we then
found that there is no access to the water without crossing private land which also of course meant we were unable to picnic on the beach as we had hoped.  With two children the lack of facilities, which we now understand is due to this being a private beach makes this a totally unsuitable location for our young family.

A very special place. Yes the beach is privately owned but walk via Grayson Perry’s amazing award winning house and you’ll be able to gain access for a walk. There’s an unusual vibe here but it’s captivating in the same way Dungeness is. Kind of austere but cool.

Lovely place, nice and quiet.

A beautiful place for ramblers or photographers but not really a beach for a family day out. When the tide is out you can easily walk along the shore below the high tide line (not private) aproaching from either end. I walked all the way along from the bird hides at bramble creek to wrabness nature reserve. This was on a week day at the end of May and all but one of the beach huts were deserted or even boarded up. Had the place to myself.

I was so sorry to learn that the beach is now privately owned and not family friendly.  Back 30 years this area was a great day out, with good parking and a beautiful beach which families could enjoy the wonderful sea views.  There were a few small beach huts but nothing like those situated there nowadays.
I just loved the quietness of the place and letting the dogs having a great time running in and out of the sea.

No facilities, and actually privately owned, so not worth the hassle!

The reason there are no organised water sports or public facilities is because it and the surrounding land is privatley owned by the hut owners (above mean high tide) and as such there is no public access for general use. Details can be found here - http://www.balhaven.co.uk.

Couldn’t wait to get down here but all the SM about this beach is really misleading: it’s not a public beach at all. There’s a long and steep and double gated private lane down to the shore, and then the beach itself is all privately owned by the beach hut company. There is a footpath along the sea wall and across the first bit of beach but then it just stops. No BBQs allowed either. Had a quick dip anyway but by the time we slogged back up to the car we were just as hot and sweaty. Don’t bother. Unless you’re prepared to shell out £££ and buy yourself a hut.

As others have said, it’s along walk down to the beach (even further back up the hill!) the majority of the dry beach sand is privately-owned, and dogs and barbeques are banned.

Not recommended!

Lack of organised water sports otherwise super great
