This part of the coast enjoys some of the driest weather in the British Isles, and with sandy grounds, makes for fantastic play all year round.

Tennis is available at Thorpeness Country Club, with courts only a short walk from the hotel and adjacent to the beach. Access to the area has improved in recent years with motorways from London and the Midlands. London Airports 2 1/2 hours, Stansted 2 hours, Norwich 1 hour, Harwich Port 1 hour.
