A £2.6m scheme has been completed with the official opening of the new Eastern Edge beach huts in south Lowestoft.
The 58 concrete beach chalets that were closed in the summer of 2016 due to safety concerns have been replaced with 72 contemporary beach huts.
The 72 striking new beach huts are now officially open as part of ambitious plans to enhance and help the town gain further recognition as a visitor destination.
The new huts are positioned on two levels and face south to ensure maximum sunshine. Designed by Norwich-based architects Chaplin Farrant.
Danny Steel, director and head of commercial property management at Steel & Co, said: “The Eastern Edge huts are bold, truly unique and something for our town to be proud of.
"Lowestoft’s South Beach is one of the best around and purchasing or hiring one of these new huts is the perfect way to enjoy it.”
36 of the beach huts are available to hire on a weekly basis while some of the huts remain available for sale after inquiries have flooded in for the new huts.
10 of the new huts have been designed with accessibility in mind, and are located on Eastern Edge's lower tier and can be accessed from the promenade.
These huts are ideal for hire and can be linked together for those who need a bigger space.
