Old Hunstanton Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Looking for a unique place to stay in Hunstanton? Look no further than The Old Lighthouse, an iconic building located on the cliffs between Hunstanton and Old Hunstanton. The current lighthouse was built in 1840. However, there has been a lighthouse on the site since 1665; the first built of wood with an iron basket of burning coals as a light.

The chapel, now in ruins, was erected in 1272 in memory of St Edmund who landed at Hunstanton in 855 to be crowned King of East Anglia. He led an army against Viking invaders but was defeated, captured and martyred. He became the first patron saint of England.

Hunstanton Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

At low tide, pick through barnacle-encrusted mussels, seek out the plentiful razor clams or just lean up against the concrete groynes and watch the spectacular sunset. It's one of the few places on the east coast where this is possible.

Sea Wall and Groynes at Sandbanks

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

On a good day this stretch gives good views over the coast and its sandbanks and sea defences. There is an interesting assortment of seaside cottages on the land side. We watched kite surfers flashing about on the waves which was impressive. You may also see (and hear!) the amphibious vehicles that give rides out to the sandbanks.

Hunstanton Striped Cliffs

Highlight • Viewpoint

Hunstanton, which is affectionately called ‘Sunny Hunny’, is one of Norfolk's most popular coastal destinations. Well-known for its beach, striped cliffs, vibrant promenade and traditional seaside town vibes, Hunstanton has lots of accommodation, places for food and drink, shops and other attractions. Plus, as the only west-facing resort on the East Coast, it has an extra-special atmosphere and affords magical sunsets.
