Pakefield to Easton Bavents is a 735.4 hectare biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest which stretches along the Suffolk coast between Lowestoft and Southwold.[1][2] It includes three Geological Conservation Review sites,[3][4][5] and part of the Benacre National Nature Reserve.[6] An area of 326.7 hectares is the Benacre to Easton Bavents Lagoons Special Area of Conservation,[7][8] and 470.6 hectares is the Benacre to Easton Bavents Special Protection Area under the European Union Directive on the Conservation of Wild Birds.[9][10] The site is also partly in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.[11]
The site is described by Natural England as nationally important for its exposures of the Lower Pleistocene Norwich Crag Formation, its vegetated shingle features, saline lagoons, flood-plain fens, its nationally scarce vascular plants, and for its scarce breeding birds and wintering bitterns.[12]
