Gorleston’s stunning seafront can now be enjoyed digitally 24/7
A new webcam is on the front of Gorleston’s Pavilion Theatre to help promote the area as a tourism destination

One of Norfolk’s most stunning seafront views can be enjoyed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with the launch of a new webcam.
It has been placed on the front of the Pavilion Theatre in Gorleston to give a great view of the gardens, bandstand, and beach.
The new camera, which was proposed by Gorleston Pavilion, is being funded by Visit Great Yarmouth and supported by Great Yarmouth Borough Council and Anglia Technology, and will give would-be visitors a taste of what they can enjoy on a trip to the town.

As the Destination Management Organisation for the Great Yarmouth area, we have developed, The Visit Great Yarmouth Destination Management Plan is a key document in the development of Great Yarmouth as a Tourism Destination. It sets out our plans for 2021-2024.

Tourism in Great Yarmouth has been built on working in partnership, and this partnership approach between a wide array of stakeholders is at the heart of this
document.
The covid pandemic has had a catastrophic impact on our tourism economy and it will take time to recover to pre-covid pandemic levels. Through continuing to work in partnership, we will improve our chances of a quicker recovery and then growth.
