This is a great beach for a walk with your dog to Cromer, whether on the beach or via the scenic clifftops.

Restrictions apply 1st May to 30th September – No dogs are allowed on the beach near the main promenade. The area opposite the main public car park with the sloping paths towards the beach and looking towards Cromer (on the left) allows for dogs. On the promenade and sloping paths dogs must be kept on a lead.

Outside of the summer season months, there are no restrictions for what part of the beach dogs can walk on.

    Absolutely loved my visit to Overstrand. Had a fabulous time exploring the deep history coast. Walked miles and miles along the beach as the tide went out and found plenty of interesting fossils to look at. Watched the kestrel hunting over the cliffs and a seal swimming in the sun. The sunset looking out towards Cromer pier was lovely and we even had a seal join us and he was swimming right in front of where we were sitting. What is not to love.

    Beautiful unspoilt beach. Used to holiday here as a kid. Returned about 50 years later and doesn’t feel like it has changed. Some street parking or a car park. Lovely cafe at the top of cliff. Steep path down but if you can get there for low tide there is a massive sandy beach. Dog restrictions in places but the beach goes all the way to Cromer so you can find somewhere to let them enjoy themselves. Loved it

    Park at Overstrand car park, get there early - it gets full very quickly! Pay and display by cash or card/phone app (signal is fine), go down to the beach and head East- you will trek up and down to get to the beach between Overstrand and Understrand, with no structures/groynes/concrete, just beach, sea, cliffs, and peace! It really is a gorgeous setting and well worth the twenty minute stroll to get here- take a picnic and a blanket/chair, and chill out for the day! No facilities whatsoever so do what you have to do but take your rubbish home with you- this place is far too nice to spoil

    Overstrand one of the many dog unfriendly beaches in norfolk. Expensive parking and at nearly £9 for a sausage bap, i would avoid the cafe as well. Perfect if you don't drive,don't eat there and haven't got a dog.
