How to Find Pakefield

 The most direct way to access Pakefield is from Kessingland, park in the lay by near some houses on the right coming from Lowestoft. It is not far from the roundabout. There is a footpath on the opposite side of the road down a Campsite South of the lay by. This will take you directly onto the beach via steps. HOWEVER: The steps are not always accessible due to rapid erosion, it is possible to access the beach down the landslips however during the winter this can be very dangerous. It is also possible to cut across the fields at the Kessingland Roundabout before the Duel Carriageway (From Lowestoft) and by walking from Kessingland beach where there is a large car park.

 Should access be difficult at the above locations or for a more easier access to the beach (but a much longer walk), follow A12 heading from South and just after the 30mph sign off the last roundabout, turn off to Arbor lane, then follow down to the beach. Walk South once on the beach, (It is a long walk). Access can be made through the holiday park for the most direct route, however we do not recommend this as they often clamp cars and hand out big fines.
