Cromer Beach

Norfolk Cromer Beach is simply stunning—clean, well-maintained, and popular with visitors of all ages. There are convenient ramps at both ends of the beach, and red and yellow flags mark safe swimming areas, monitored by attentive lifeguards. While the shoreline features a few rocks and the sand can be a bit coarse, the beauty of the beach more than makes up for it. Do note that the waves can be strong, making the water a bit challenging for younger children as it gets deep quickly. The local council is actively working on the sea wall defences, ensuring that this beautiful seaside spot remains protected for future generations. Their efforts are commendable and reflect a commitment to preserving the area. With friendly council staff emptying bins and sweeping regularly. There is also plenty of parking nearby with a giant overflow car park. At a cost of £08.50p per day. One of the highlights of Norfolk Beach is the wooden pier, which is a true gem. The pier offers plenty of seating, and there are public crab fishing lines available for use. Towards the end of the pier, you’ll find a delightful ice cream parlour, as well as spots to grab a beer or coffee. The standout feature, however, is the theatre, which hosts performances suitable for the whole community, making it a vibrant cultural hub. Additionally, there’s a lifeboat station at the end of the pier, which is an impressive sight. The lifeboat service plays a crucial role, and they always appreciate support from the local community.

Beautiful beach lots of families having fun and enjoying the water. Stay out of the red zone near the peir. Lots of lifeguards on duty. Places to do surf body boarding lessons.

Sandy beach - car parks nearby. Amusements and ice creams all the usual seaside stuff. The pier is always worth a taking a walk along. Crabs a plenty on the beach and crabbing from the pier is top entertainment for the kids. Great day out.

A lovely sandy beach, great for families. We were with my elderly mother and we parked in the Beach carpark at the top, it was to far to walk and a long climb down to the beach, so for accessibility I would park in the town and approach the beach from the other side. No.1 served delicious fish and chips, perfect for eating on the beach in the sun.

Was staying in Norwich for a long weekend and after visiting here we enjoyed it so much we returned everyday. Free on street parking if you are lucky ( we visited 4pm onwards and always found a space down one of the side roads). Fabulous pier with some of the best icecream and doughnuts I have ever had! Sandy beach with some pebbles. Lifeguards are present and tell you to swim between the flags.
