Passing woods on the left and a row of terraces on the right, soon come to a road (Cliff Farm Lane) on the left with a caravan park sign. Turn left along this road and, near the reception centre, bear right then shortly right again along a path (no sign) between a field and a wooded area. Turning a corner, the tall square tower of Kessingland’s St Edmund’s Church comes into view. The path continues between open fields parallel to the beach. Go past a footbridge over a ditch to the right and continue to the end of the field, at which point turn left following the Suffolk Coast Path sign. At the end of the path, where there is a house on the left, take the rough track to the right, which just after a footpath leading to the beach turns into a tarmac road with bungalows. Continue parallel to the beach, passing an information board on Kessingland parish, and then turn left along a narrow footpath next to a hedge and down steps to the beach where you turn right.

Kessingland, once the summer residence of the novelist H Rider Haggard, consisted of two separate communities – Kessingland Beach and Kessingland Street – until the 1960s. The village is now a popular holiday centre with several holiday parks and an Africa-themed wildlife park, Africa Alive!
