_Beaches in Norfolk

Norfolk’s coastline is one of the most distinctive in England. Divided between the Royal Norfolk Coast to the west and the Norfolk Coast to the east, it offers remarkable variety within a single stretch of shoreline.

Many Norfolk beaches reveal their full scale at low tide, when sand extends far beyond the high-water line. Others are edged with shingle, rock pools and coastal defences that reflect the changing nature of the North Sea.

From lively town beaches with promenades and seasonal facilities to quieter stretches reached by coastal paths, Norfolk offers a broad choice of coastal settings. Each listing provides practical information on access, parking and location so you can choose the right beach for your visit.
