Outdoors - Water

Beaches

Wells Next the Sea - Park at Pinewoods Caravan Park. Great beach with beach huts, pools for paddling and endless sandy stretches.

Holkham Beach - Park on Lady Anne’s Drive opposite the The Victoria Hotel or walk from Burnham Overy or Wells. Dramatic sandy beach fringed with pine trees, featured in Shakespeare in Love.

Brancaster - Less dramatic than Holkham, more family friendly as the tide doesn’t go out so far.

Cley next the Sea - Quiet, pebbly beach with stunning views to either side. Good swimming at high tide.

Hunstanton - The beach and cliffs face west giving perfect spots for viewing spectacular sunsets. When tide is out there are plenty of rock pools around the groynes.

Sheringham - Stony beach but at low tide lots of sand and rock pools.
