The Mill Inn, Aldeburgh   (01728-452563) 

The Mill Inn is another pub that stands directly opposite the beach front.

Meals are cooked using fresh, local ingredients, hand-selected by the Chef. The seafood dish of the day is chosen depending on the success of the Aldeburgh fisherman who land their catch on the beach opposite. What is more, if you fancy a hearty cooked breakfast The Mill Inn in the place to go. 

The White Lion, Aldeburgh  (01728 452720) The White Lion Hotel enjoys fantastic views of the sea, and is a great place to enjoy a good meal.

Prezzo, on the High Street, is always a favourite with families, offering traditional Italian lunches and suppers and a friendly relaxed atmosphere.

Packing tips:  Wellingtons and walking boots will be very useful so you can have a good old stomp along the coast without ruining your best shoes! Do remember beach towels, fishing nets, crabbing lines and sailing kit. Think about bringing or hiring bikes as this is a wonderful place for cycling, whatever your age or ability
