About

The Island Cafe and Boating Lake

Housed on an island within Great Yarmouth's Venetian Waterways, this licensed cafe serves freshly brewed coffee, savoury treats, cakes and local ice cream against a backdrop of ornamental gardens and open water. The wider site covers seven acres and dates back nearly 100 years, rejuvenated in 2019 with National Lottery Heritage Fund support; boat and pedalo hire is available on the lake itself.
