When to visit

The best time to visit Great Yarmouth for warm-weather activities is from early July to early September, with August being the hottest month featuring an average high of 20°C. During this time, the town bustles with life as families flock to the area to make the most of the attractions and sunshine. However, if you'd rather avoid the peak of tourist season, consider visiting during late July to mid-August. With slightly fewer crowds and still plenty of warmth, you can enjoy most of the town's delights while avoiding peak prices. As always, it's advisable to plan your holiday around school breaks to ensure the best experience for the whole family.
