The North Norfolk Coast is where you’ll find some of England’s best sandy beaches. Sandwiched between salt marshes and dunes, loved by ornithologists, and pretty seaside towns. To the western end are the gastropubs and quiet villages, and, if your idea of the best hotels on the North Norfolk Coast involves boutique charm, then this patch is for you.
To the east are the busier, cheerful seaside resort towns, popular with families and where you’ll find some of the best hotels on the North Norfolk Coast if you’re looking for an old fashioned seaside holiday.
The Coast Road, between the lively resort of Hunstanton and Cromer, perched on the cliff, offers a scenic route along the whole stretch, and makes a great path if you want to explore the region, from the Holkham National Nature Reserve to the Cley Marches with all the possibilities of a rare bird sighting, to the postcard perfect Wells Beach and the sandbars of Titchwell Marsh. The Coast Road is also a great route to cycle - especially if you like things flat!
In addition there's a Norfolk Coast Path, which also runs between Hunstanton and Cromer. And if you do happen to be in Cromer then you’re not far from the beauty and peace of the Norfolk Broads. It’s also got a fantastic beach and one of the oldest piers in the country. And even if you’re not a foodie you’ll have heard of Cromer’s crabs.
The interior of the North Norfolk Coast has numerous pretty market towns, and the very charming North Norfolk Railway, centred around the genteel Georgian town of Holt.
