As the hut sits opposite the Yacht Club and is east of the slipway, access to the beach is not obvious,so this part of the beach is normally much quieter than the main beach. Thorpe Bay Yacht Club is 100yards away and membership would give you free parking, a bar with food and toilet and shower facilities. Or 5 minute walk to Uncle Toms Cabin for food, drink, ice cream and toilets. Public seafront parking 100yards. Stunning walks on the sand flats out to the Mulberry harbour at low tide to see seals, this stretch of the beach is the closest access to the Mulberry.
