Location

California Avenue is a residential street located in the coastal village of Scratby, part of the Great Yarmouth area in Norfolk. The avenue is situated within a short walking distance of the beach, giving residents easy access to the sand and sea for walks, fishing, or coastal views. Local amenities are modest but convenient: A handful of corner shops, a post office, and a few cafés and takeaways serve everyday needs, while larger supermarkets, pharmacies, and high street stores are a short drive away in nearby Caister-on-Sea or Great Yarmouth.

For families, the area is served by John Grant Primary School and Caister Academy, both within a few miles, and other primary and secondary schools are accessible in surrounding villages. Transport options are typical of a coastal village: Local bus services connect Scratby with Great Yarmouth and neighbouring settlements, and the nearest railway station at Great Yarmouth provides broader connections across Norfolk.
