What is the most beautiful part of the Norfolk Coast?

With many stunning beaches to choose from, Norfolk is an exceptional location for a getaway by the sea. Holkham Beach has been named one of the best in the world, with miles of golden sand to enjoy. This remote beach is open, and picturesque and is surrounded by a nature reserve and pine trees with plenty of wildlife to explore if you are a nature enthusiast. 

Holkham is closely followed in popularity by Wells-Next-The-Sea beach, lined by colourful beach huts available for rental, and Old Hunstanton beach, with a traditional lighthouse leading down to the beach where children can enjoy exploring in the rock pools at low tide. 

Cromer is a popular seaside resort, with a good family friendly beach, and a traditional Victorian pier with one of only five UK end-of-pier theatre’s. Relax on the beach during the day, and enjoy a bite to eat including the infamous Cromer Crab for dinner.
