The Norfolk Coast - An Overview

Visiting the Norfolk coast on the east coast of England is like visiting another world.  This lovely area of unblemished and natural coastline offers beautiful beaches with miles of clean sand and rolling dunes.  There are nature reserves filled with a variety of wildlife that can be seen all year round and a good part of the county has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  The pace here is slow and the residents warm and welcoming.  It is the perfect spot for a weekend getaway.
The Norfolk Coast has plenty for you to do.  From windsurfing to visiting the historical sites to simply strolling along the beach barefoot, the feel of the wind in your hair off the North Sea is exhilarating.  There are boat trips out of the villages of Blakeney and Morston that will take you out on the water of Blakeney Pit.  You can then see the numerous seals sunning themselves on the coastal sandbanks.  The landscape also offers hiking trails and cycling pathways for those who wish to see the county this way.  You will find small villages dotting the coast complete with pubs, bed and breakfasts, and unique shops.
While you are out and about walking, cycling, horseback riding, or even just sitting outside in the pub’s garden, make sure you keep an eye on the birds.  The entire coastline is the home to a wide range of species and types of birds, some of which have made the endangered list in England.  Or, try your hand at fishing and go to Cromer to cast your line from the pier.  No matter what your fancy is you can find it along the Norfolk Coast.
