Most accessible beaches in north norfolk
North Norfolk has many beautiful beaches, some with Blue Flag status, to be enjoyed by all. We've listed the best beaches for wheelchair (and pushchair) access with facilities nearby.


From the car park at West Runton beach on the Deep History Coast, you can access the beach via a paved slope. This Blue Flag beach is where the 600,000 year old skeleton of a steppe mammoth was found, the most complete skeleton ever found in the world.


At Holkham beach there are dedicated Blue Badge car parking spaces. From the car park, there is a sturdy wooden track that leads you to a viewing platform which offers fantastic views of the beach.
Or you can follow a one-mile route, turn left at the bottom of Lady Anne’s Drive and follow the hardcore track with the pinewoods on the right. Pass a small saltwater lagoon on the left, and after approximately a mile, you will reach the George Washington Hide. There is access here through to the beach via a boardwalk. Looking across the grazing marshes back towards Holkham Park, you will see the monument rising up amongst the tops of the trees. The return route can be varied by going through the pinewoods and turning right along the beach back to the end of Lady Anne’s Drive.



At Hunstanton seaside resort, disabled access has been provided to all the main public areas including the beach. The paved promenade has several slopes leading down to the beach where you can see the famous striped cliffs. There is also a specially designed sensory garden, which provides opportunities to touch, hear and smell the plants and sculptures.
The Norfolk Coast Partnership has a selection of walks on its website which provide an opportunity for everyone from pushschair users to those with limited mobility to experience the diversity of the landscapes and wildlife of the area, from Cromer prom to Sheringham Park and beyond. Many sites are based on the Easy Access to the Norfolk Coast AONB, a guide to easily accessible countryside sites.
National Trails also has information about wheelchair access to the Norfolk Coast Path.
