Covehithe is a small coastal village located in the County of Suffolk, England. Situated on the eastern coast of England, Covehithe is part of the Waveney District and lies within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The village is known for its picturesque setting, with a stunning beach and breathtaking cliffs that overlook the North Sea. It is a popular destination for nature lovers and those seeking tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Covehithe is renowned for its historic church, St. Andrew's Church, which dates back to the 15th century. The church is a prominent landmark in the village and attracts visitors from far and wide who come to admire its unique architecture and rich history.

Despite its natural beauty, Covehithe is a small and quiet village with only a handful of houses and a population of around 25 residents. Over the years, erosion has taken its toll on the coastline, resulting in the loss of several houses and parts of the village. This has led to a sense of preservation and protection among the local community, who actively work to maintain and safeguard the remaining structures.

Covehithe offers visitors a chance to escape the crowds and immerse themselves in the peacefulness of rural Suffolk. With its unspoiled beaches, stunning coastal views, and charming church, Covehithe is a hidden gem that continues to captivate all who visit.
