Sea Palling Beach

Located between Cromer and Great Yarmouth, on the Norfolk coast, Sea Palling is an excellent sandy beach with 9 artificial offshore reefs created as part of a flood prevention scheme. Backed by sand dunes, the curving beach has been awarded Blue Flag status for its pristine waters and is rarely over-crowded.
Lifeguards are on duty in the peak summer season. There’s also an Inshore Lifeboat based at Sea Palling Lifeguard Station right on the beach. The local RNLI has saved over 800 lives to date.
The beach is perfect for sandcastles, swimming, ball games and launching small boats from the ramp.
Facilities include toilets and a pub, the Reef’s Bar, as well as cafés, amusements and a fresh fish stall. Walkers can explore the scenic coastline and may spot seals in the North Sea waters.
There’s a large pay-and-display car park just a short walk from the sand.
