Discover the charm and beauty of the small yet perfectly formed town of Cromer. It has everything for a fulfilling day out, including a pristine beach, a pier for lifeboat launch, promenade, lighthouse, and numerous places to savour the local delicacy - fresh crab!
Cromer's popularity dates back to the Victorian era, and while it retains a slightly faded air typical of many Victorian resorts, it remains a popular destination today. Situated on the north Norfolk coast, Cromer is surrounded by numerous family-friendly beaches where lifeguards are on duty during the summer months. Be sure to check local conditions before venturing into the water as the tides can be tricky in this area.
Just 1.5 miles from Cromer is the small resort town of Sheringham, which also offers beautiful beaches. The town is the base of the North Norfolk Railway, offering trips on steam trains for a unique experience.
The quaintly named Wells-next-the-Sea is a popular destination for nature lovers. Despite land reclamations putting it a bit further from the sea than its name suggests, it still retains a strong coastal charm. The town has a long sandy beach backed by a pine forest and dunes, offering a serene getaway.
The area is a hotspot for bird watchers due to its miles of undeveloped coastline, a nature reserve, and nearby salt marshes. The Peddlar's Way and the Norfolk Coast Path run along this coast, making it a favourite for hikers.
Mundesley, a small coastal village located around 6 miles east of Cromer, is another must-visit spot. Known for its long sandy beach, Mundesley is a popular spot during the summer months. It has a few hotels and a caravan park for visitors, while the small market town of North Walsham, located 4 miles inland, offers more shops and amenities.
Whether you prefer sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling, sailing, surfing, windsurfing, or kite sailing, the coast offers a wide selection of activities. The coastal area also boasts a large selection of attractions, from piers and harbours to fun fairs and roller coasters. You'll also find a variety of pubs, restaurants, and shops to enhance your visit.
