In the 1940′s anti-tank blocks were built on the beach as part of a coastal defence plan from World War II. The remains of these blocks are still visible today. Large sand dunes stretch for miles and serve as a natural barrier between the sea and the village. Clean, soft sandy beaches that line the coast serve as a natural playground for children and adults alike.
Along the beach, Beach Road is a hot spot for lots of food and lots of fun. There are Bingo games, a variety of clubs, golf, fun fair, arcades, and visitors can dance the night away in a high energy, fun-filled disco club. A popular beach cafe serves food throughout the season.
The village has plenty of quaint shops for those who love to shop and find one-of-a kind gifts. Within the village is a church named St Mary the Virgin Church which was built in the 12th century. A few other attractions are the Scroby Sands wind farm and the Blood Hill wind farm which are near the village.
For those that love a little Rock-n-Roll, there is the Rock’n'Roll weekender that features music from the 1950′s. Other festivities include the Longshore Herring Festival which celebrates the significant fishing traditions. Guests watch a parade and listen to live music as they eat BBQ’d herrings on the beach.
An important service to Hemsby is the volunteer organization known as Hemsby Lifeboat. This organization relies on fund raisers and public donations to operate since it is not owned and operated by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Their job is to rescue boats and people who are in distress. Every year, Hemsby Lifeboat holds a fundraiser offering lots of booths and stalls.
