Seaside Resorts

Fabulous afternoon playing in the sand.

The East of England’s long coastline is dotted with Seaside Resorts, many of which can trace their origins to Victorian days.

They vary widely in their boisterousness, the number of bucket-and-spade shops, amusement arcades and the range of eating options, however all also include good beaches.

If you’re looking for beaches without the frills (or crowds), check the Wild Beaches section.

Norfolk

Hunstanton, Sheringham, Cromer, Gorleston and Great Yarmouth are the main seaside resorts offering beaches and other leisure activities.

For more tranquil, leisurely coastal experiences head for quieter beaches like Wells/Holkham, Holme-next-the-Sea, Brancaster, West Runton, Overstrand.
