Places to Stay

Breathe in the fresh sea air and listen to the cries of the gulls and the waves crashing against the shore. You’ll find huge expanses of pale sandy beaches backed by high grassy sand dunes. Lie back and relax and watch the scanty clouds skipping across the wide blue sky. Get your binoculars out and do some birdwatching. Or merely laze around trickling warm sand through your fingers and digging your toes down as deep as they’ll go.

The Coast of Norfolk

Quick Search

The Norfolk coastline is simply stunning.

It’s incredibly peaceful here. Even on busy days many of Norfolk’s beaches have empty hideaways where you feel you have the place to yourself. You can hear the squeals of children in the distance, their laughter carried along on the gentle breeze, yet it all seems so far away, and your eyelids grow heavy as the sun warms your skin and you drift in and out of a summer’s snooze.

With miles and miles of wide sandy beaches, unspoilt Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and some of the best nature reserves in the country (including Titchwell, Snettisham and Cley), it’s easy to see why artists and writers have flocked to the Norfolk coast for years.

The Norfolk coast is a place to do as much or as little as you like. Try your hand at windsurfing, sailing or kiting. The Norfolk coastline is invigorating and with the wind in your hair and the sun on your face you’ll feel the adrenalin rush. Or head out to Blakeney or Morston and hop into a boat to see the seals. Dozens of them. Sunning themselves on the sand banks as happy as the day is long. What a great sight!

Or simply get out and explore. The Norfolk coast is a wonderful area for walking or cycling with a gentle undulating landscape, pretty coastal villages, crumbling flint cottages, intriguing shops and galleries and plenty of welcoming pubs and restaurants.

Slow down to a gentler pace of life and remember what real living is all about.
