About

Hunstanton Beach is affectionately known locally as ‘Sunny Hunny’ as it is one of the driest places in the country and as it faces west, it has some of the most spectacular sunsets. There are beautiful sandy beaches and sand dunes, backed by the famous striped cliffs. 

The gentle waves and clean sands, make it an ideal beach for families. It's great for building sandcastles and paddling. 

The beach is dog friendly, but please be aware seasonal restrictions apply.
