The Coast
North Norfolk stretches for 43 miles along the picturesque and ever-changing coast. Three quarters of this coastline is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and many beaches have a history of winning awards for their cleanliness and facilities. Its coastal towns have grown over the centuries from small, isolated fishing communities into bustling seaside resorts. But they have kept the character of communities working on the shore - the crab and fishing boats still putting out to sea, the lifeboats still proudly manned, and now the waters and nature reserves carefully maintained to preserve the area's reputation as an unspoilt retreat.
