About

Old Hunstanton Beach

Old Hunstanton Beach sits along the Norfolk coastline, offering visitors a traditional seaside experience with plenty of sandy shore. The beach is known for its dramatic striped cliffs and rock formations that give it distinctive character compared to other nearby stretches. You'll find it popular with families, dog walkers, and those interested in geology, thanks to the exposed layers of colored sediment in the cliff face.
