Latest reviews on North Walsham's beaches

Happisburgh Beach
10 Nathanial Hayes

This beach is absolutely lovely and offers a great opportunity to search for fossils, provided you have the proper tools. The Light House is also a must-see, and there is ample parking and clean restroom facilities available. However, there is quite a bit of erosion along this stretch of coastline. Additionally, there is a good pub nearby, and the local church is quite charming. If you climb to the top of the tower, you'll be rewarded with stunning views. Finally, it's worth noting that The Old Vicarage gardens, which are considered some of the best in England, are just a mile away and definitely worth a visit.

Sea Palling beach
10 Samantha Marie Andersson.

This stunning beach is an ideal spot for dog lovers, as it is incredibly welcoming to our furry friends. However, if you're not a fan of seeing other dogs on the sand, it might not be the best choice for you. That being said, there are designated areas where dogs are prohibited, so you can still enjoy the beach without any canine interruptions. Overall, this beach is perfect for families and offers a picturesque setting for a day spent in the sun.

West Runton Beach

We went to the beach during sunset and when the tide was low. It's a beautiful place to take a stroll with its cliffs and rocks that add to its picturesque views.

Horsey Beach (Horsey Gap)
6 Luis Ramirez

This beach is a wonderful spot to observe seals in their natural habitat, however, it was disheartening to see people swimming, which prevented the seals from coming ashore and sunbathing. It is crucial that we prioritize the protection of these magnificent creatures, so they can continue to thrive in this area. Hopefully, we can work towards creating a more secure environment for them, so they don't have to seek refuge in other locations. On a positive note, the parking attendants were extremely helpful and made our visit even more enjoyable.

Mundesley beach
10 Mark Williams

This beach is absolutely amazing and incredibly welcoming to our furry friends. The local businesses have gone above and beyond by providing bowls of water for our four-legged companions, which we truly appreciate. Although parking may be a bit of a challenge, we had no trouble finding a spot for our vehicle.

Overstrand Beach
8 Arielle Raine

The beach offers a breathtaking backdrop of towering cliffs and offers easy access to the coastal path. It's an ideal spot for swimming, but be sure to check the tide schedules online. When the tide is in, you can wade out up to your waist and enjoy the sandy underfoot. However, navigating the pebbles can be tricky, so it's best to wear beach shoes. While there are man-made structures on the beach to prevent further cliff erosion, there are still plenty of spaces to get to the water's edge. It's important to note that there is no lifeguard on duty, so always follow safety codes when swimming. For families with young children, Cromer may be a better option as there are only a few shops and stunning scenery at the top of a steep incline. The base of the cliffs is not a safe area for picnics or playtime due to frequent collapses. The coastline is dynamic and should be admired from a safe distance.
