Fishing, boat trips and boat hire on the beautiful Norfolk Broads are just a few miles away.
Sea Palling, the local village, has an independent lifeboat, and mission boards displayed in the church which list rescues going back over 100 years.
The quiet beach, a short walk up and over the sand dune, is home to many waders, and is home to a protected breeding colony of little terns in the summer, while on Horsey Beach, just a short drive down the coast, grey seals give birth to their pups in the winter. The path over the sand dune is quite steep, but there is easier beach access at Sea Palling and Cart Gap, where there are car parks, as well as stepped access over the dunes about 300m down the lane towards Sea Palling.
Norwich, once England’s second city, has fine medieval buildings, including the cathedral, a Norman castle, which is nearing the end of a massive restoration programme to restore it to its roots, and everything for the shopping addict! There is a supermarket in Stalham, 6 miles. Beach 300 yards (via footpath). Shop, pub and café 1 mile.

Fabulous location, a very short walk from the beach, which is beautiful. If you are looking for peace and quiet then this is the perfect location.Fantastic walks in both directions on the beach. Definitely get to Horsey Gap to see the grey seal colony. There are some great pubs, all a short drive away. The Ingham Swan was fabulous for Sunday lunch. Cottage is very comfortable, with good amenities. Shower could do with being a bit more powerful, but that’s the only very small negative.Will be coming back again. Much more to explore.
