About
Hunstanton Beach, the crown jewel of Norfolk’s west coast, stretches for several kilometres of golden sand backed by dramatic, cliff‑lined Carrstone. The village advertises a Victorian‑era promenade that winds past quaint cafés, a lively pier – now home to an arcade and bowling alley – and a small seal sanctuary that offers close encounters with the region’s resident grey and common seals. Whether you’re looking to stroll, sunbathe, take in the sunset or snap panoramic photos of the Wash, this beach provides a laid‑back, family‑friendly waterfront escape that remains popular with day‑trippers and holidaymakers alike.
