Coastal Clipper 1|1A & 99 - Buses along the east coast
Journey planner
Whether you live and work on the east coast of Norfolk & Suffolk or are enjoying a great holiday or short break, there’s loads to see and do!
And what better way to get around than with Coastal Clipper! It’s simple, great value and you can sit back and relax whilst we get you to your destination.
Coastal Clipper can take you the full length of the coastal strip, from the unspoilt, windswept beaches of Winterton to the north, past the fun-packed holiday hotspots of Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, and south to the beautiful seaside town of Southwold.
And, in the summer, you can enjoy a grandstand view of the East Norfolk coast and cruise along Great Yarmouth's Golden Mile from our fleet of open top buses on Clipper Cabriolet 1C - running every day from 4th May until 21st September 2024.

No matter what time of the year you're in the area there's plenty to keep you entertained along the way from coastal walks, to great attractions, lazy days on the beach or exploring the shops.
You can download our timetable guides to the Coastal Clipper routes from the links below, where we've put a detailed map of the route, showing lots of landmarks on the way, as well as some ideas of places to go and explore.
And, of course, you can buy a great value ticket that will let you travel all along the coast as much as you like for a day, a week or longer. You'll find information on all of these options further down the page.
