NEARBY BEACHES

Wells-next-the-Sea

Wells is a great bucket-and-spade beach, a mile from the lively town, with a lifeboat house at its eastern edge and sand which merges into the beach at Holkham. Characterised by its collection of brightly coloured beach-huts, backed by pine woods. Familytastic.

Brancaster

Brancaster beach sand is perfect for picnics, sandcastle-building and walking your dog. Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and made up of salt marsh, intertidal mud and sandflats, miles of sandy beach stretching as far as the eye can see. Rich in wildlife, you can spot avocets, oyster catchers, terns to name but a few. Perfect for the Family

Holkham

Holkham beach is said to be one of the most beautiful beaches on the North Norfolk Coast and indeed the British Isles. Horseshoe-shaped the pale sand beach sheltered by pine forest and is popular with families, walkers, horse-riders and perfect for kite-flying and enjoying the wide open space.

Burnham Overy Staithe

A true beauty! The distance from the car park to the beach is 1.4 miles, and the lack of facilities when you get there, creates a natural filter that tends to keep Burnham Overy Staithe Beach quiet and uncrowded. The sand is pale, fine and soft, and the water is crystal clear. At low tide it’s immense, mile upon mile of sandy beach. One of our favourites, if you fancy a walk.

Thornham

The long sandy beach between Holme-Next-Sea and Thornham is one of those Norfolk beaches that very few people know about. That’s great news for you as it means that even in the height of the holiday season, it’s pretty much empty.

‘The Lifeboat Inn, a former fisherman's watering hole can be found a few steps from Thornham Harbour’

Titchwell

There is car parking at the RSPB car park and from there, walk through the bird sanctuary (keep dogs on lead). Walk for about a mile then you reach the beach.

‘Twitchers paradise’

Hunstanton

Hunstanton is famous for its striped cliffs and is the only spot on the east coast of England that faces west, which means that ‘Sunny Hunny’ is the perfect spot for viewing spectacular sunsets. There are two sides to Hunstanton. The elegant old Victorian town with its Esplanade Gardens and rather sedate air and the lively buzzing family centre with a large sandy beach, pony rides, amusements and summer theatre. Old Hunstanton has more of a village feel, with its beach (including rock pools) backed by the famous striped cliffs. Its large open beaches and flat water make it a mecca for kitesurfing, windsurfing and stand-up paddle boarding.

Many many more

There are many more to visit. We’d recommend you take the coast road North to Hunstanton or South to Cromer and get exploring!
