About

Pakefield South and Kessingland lie on the Suffolk coast directly south of Lowestoft. The shoreline alternates between sandy bays and stretches of shingle, backed in places by a sea wall and rows of timber groynes. The Suffolk Coast Path follows the shore here, running along dune systems and across managed frontages. Coastal processes are visible at the beach: erosion, seasonal sand movement and nourishment schemes shape the foreshore.
Settlements form a ribbon of housing, holiday parks and local shops set back from the beach. Kessingland retains a village centre with a parish church and community facilities while Pakefield provides beach access, car parks and seasonal kiosks. Pakefield is noted for early Pleistocene finds — flint tools and fossil deposits exposed in cliff and beach sediments have been dated to roughly 700,000 years, supplying evidence of early human activity on the east coast. Local bus services and footpaths link the area; people use the shore for walking, birdwatching and shoreline study.
