It is, after Hickling Broad, the second largest broad, and a nature reserve in the care of the Norfolk Wildlife Trust. It is reputed that Horatio Nelson learnt to sail here.
Excursions on the broad can be made in the United Kingdom's first solar powered passenger boat, the "Ra". It leaves from Gay's Staithe.
A popular mooring is Neatishead Staithe.
