A Norfolk beach has been named as one of the best in the UK in the annual TripAdvisor Travellers Choice Awards.
Gorleston beach was ranked number eight in this year’s list, announced today (February 26) by the travel website.
The beach was the only one from Norfolk to feature in the top ten.
The announcement is more good news for a coastal attraction that later this year will feature in the Danny-Boyle movie ‘Yesterday’.
Scenes shot on the beach last summer had over 5,000 extras singing along to songs by The Beatles.
Bournemouth beach was voted the UK’s best.
The Traveller’s Choice Beaches award-winners are determined based on the quality and quantity of reviews.
Users of the website commented on Gorleston beach’s cleanliness and family-friendliness.
“A gorgeous expanse of beautiful sand,” one reviewer said.
Another commented: “Even sitting at the top of the slope having a picnic, watching the world go by, it’s just lovely.”
