It is known as Sunny Hunny. The beach and cliffs
face west which means they capture the sunshine. There are also
beautiful sunsets.
The shallow beach runs for two miles along the coast all the way
to Brancaster.
The front at Hunstanton
The tide can go a mile out allowing rock pools to appear around
the groynes.
The seafront is bordered by large Victorian and
Edwardian houses. You can walk along the top of the cliffs to the
lighthouse.
Theres plenty to do on rainy days. Hunstanton is very much
a family holiday destination and is also popular with older holidaymakers.
Toilets and public showers are available. Beach
chalets can be hired from the district council for a day and children
can enjoy a donkey ride along the beach. Situated off the promenade
are amusement arcades, shops and cafés.
As an alternative to the beach, there's the Princess
Theatre, Oasis Leisure Centre, Sea Life Centre, a pitch and putt
course, bowls, tennis and an indoor market. Jungle Wonderland is
in the town. You can also take a boat to Seal Island.
Lifeguards are on duty from Easter to the end
of the school summer holidays in September. A lifeboat is based
at Old Hunstanton, about a mile along the coast. First aid is also
available.
Council-run pay-on-entry car parks are close
to the beach, along the promenade and in the town centre. There
is one charge for all.
