"Located on the east coast of England between Gorleston and Caister. It's the main seaside town in Norfolk, and is great for the whole family and especially great for gamblers like me lol! Along the seafront there are several amusement arcades (more than I would crae to mention! Stretching from one end of Marine Parade, also known as the Golden Mile - you can enter any of the many arcades to play the slot machines and play bingo to win prizes!
There are many restaurants to choose from which do meals and budget prices from good English roasts to Greek food and curries (be sure to visit the Raja indian - blows ur socks off! There are 2 piers. These are Britannia Pier and the Wellington Pier. The Britannia holds a host of shows in the summer months with celebrities making guest appearances throughout the months of July and August mainly. In the middle of these 2 piers is the Jetty. Theres nothing on here to speak of but people come here to fish, and just to take in the sight and smell of our flithy polluted (not blue and clean!) sea water! There is also the Hollywood Cinema, 3 crazy-golf courses, icecream stalls as far as the eye can see, cafe's glore, candyfloss and shellfish stalls and all the usual shops you would find in any British sea-side town. At the end of Marine Parade is the Pleasure Beach.
Regent Road located opposite Britannia Pier. This is where all the little gift shops and cafe's can be found.
In town itself, there is Market Gates shopping centre, in which there is a host of shops such as Wilko's, Iceland and a big cafe known at the lighthouse. Opposite the shopping centre is Mcdonalds, Spud U Like and KFC. There is a market on Wednesday's and Saturday's.
Thats Yarmouth in its all its grandure really!"

We stayed in Hemsby, but must admit, Great Yarmouth was where the fun was. There are so many clubs, shops, bars, amusements here it is crazy - But great fun. For you bargain hunters out there, I reccommend Great Yarmouth's various charity shops. I got 2 brand new Von Dutch t-shirts for £2.50 - The best charity shop bargain of my life. Reccommended, good review
