I do like to be beside the seaside

We booked the White House beach site for a week initially and ended up staying 21 nights which is the maximum allowed. On arrival we were greeted by the very friendly and helpful warden. We were fortunate to have a choice of pitches as we arrived just after the half term break. We chose a lovely pitch overlooking the sea. Being on the beach side, there is easy access onto the foreshore and lovely walks for the dog. Although the weather was not great, it was lovely to sit in the van looking out to sea and when the weather improved, it was glorious. The site doesn’t have a clubhouse but it is only a few hundred yards along the promenade to The Sailors Home pub. They do great beer and very reasonable pub grub. They also have live music every weekend. We saw a pretty good blues band. It is only a short drive to Southwold. We walked there one day, which took almost 3 hours with a strong headwind and not the easiest terrain. A little further is Aldeburgh and Thorpeness. There was a free concert in the bandstand on the beach at Aldeburgh which was really good. We really enjoyed our stay and were fortunate to have some lovely neighbours who were there for longer stays as well, so we built up quite a rapport. The facilities were very clean and perfectly adequate although a little dated. The only other thing to note is that the back row pitches on the beach side back onto the road so there is some traffic noise, although speed bumps mean that vehicles are going quite slowly and we were not aware of traffic overnight. This might be a bigger problem in the school holidays as the road leads to a very large static caravan park. If you think the traffic might bother you, it might be best to stay on the other side of the site which is nice but no sea view. I’m sure we will return to this site again.
