All About Southwold Beach Hut Owners Association

Southwold pier looking out to sea We exist to represent our members’ interests and to promote the joys of being by (almost) the most easterly point of the UK!

It was not envisaged when the huts were built in the 1960s that the owners would need a body to represent them. After all, what necessity would there be for a few folk owning a small hut by the beach that cost less than £100!? However by the 1990s it was clear that the rocketing prices of any form of property would mean that the informal and sometimes casual form of hut ownership would need to be formalized. The Association came into being first, as a group of interested individuals, then latterly as a more formal and organized front to ensure our ownership was duly protected and appropriate for our needs.

We remain rather informal and joined by a shared love of the area and our huts. By being a member there is a discount on the annual rates charged by Waveney District Council that pays for itself so don't delay, join today!
