Norfolk Beaches Handbook

The Most Comprehensive And Detailed Handbook On The Best 28 Norfolk Beaches

The Norfolk Beaches Handbook is the “must have” book if you’re visiting Norfolk, or for that matter if you live in Norfolk.

At long last here is guidebook with all the detailed information you ever need about the best 28 beaches in Norfolk.  These are the 28 most accessible beaches.

Wondering what's in it?  Here are just some examples of the questions that this comprehensive guide will answer for you:

• Which beaches are dog friendly?  I know this is a really important question for many of you.
• Should you go to somewhere which has lifeguards?  Very few of the Norfolk beaches have lifeguards, and with the fast flowing tidal waters, this is often a top priority if you’ve got children.
  
• Do you want to get away from the crowds?  Maybe you want to get away from it all, there are certainly a few beaches which are empty more often than not.
• Which beaches have fun fairs and attractions and will entertain the kids? 
  
• Would the kids like to go fossil hunting?  One of the Norfolk beaches is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and was where the remains of 85% of a steppe mammoth were found!
  
• Would you like to go bird watching or seal watching?  Both of these past times are really popular in Norfolk, so finding the right beach for these is important for you. 
  
• What’s disability access like?  Some of the Norfolk beaches are definitely not good for disability access and you need to know which ones will be good for this.

No more spending hours searching around on the internet for individual beaches, here you have it all in one place.   You know what it's like trying to find something particular, but you have to keep searching and searching. You can spend that extra time enjoying yourself and relaxing on the beach, and everyone will be happy!

More detailed sections

There are also detailed sections with subheadings on each beach starting with an overview and then going on to talk about particular topics such as wildlife, accessibility, good for children etc.

It gives you a chance to really discover whether this is the ideal beach for you, as well as what’s on offer once you visit it.  You’ll be glad that you’re more informed and can finally choose just what you’re looking for.

It’s a great handbook for both first timers to Norfolk and locals alike.  The Norfolk beaches are amazing at any time of year, so this all year round handbook will be useful whenever you decide to visit one of the beaches.

It’s always fun to experience new beaches and to visit more of Norfolk that you perhaps didn’t know.  It’s exciting and different, and something that you can recommend to others, unless you don’t want to give away your secret beach!

Written by a Norfolk local!

Yes, I do live in Norfolk.  To write a book like the Norfolk Beaches Handbook, you’d have to live in Norfolk to understand what each beach offers.   I’ve lived in Norfolk for over 30 years (which in Norfolk terms is not a long time!!)  but in that time, I've got to know all the beaches and have been to them all, I use them all year round, some more than others.  I’ve been to them when they have snow on them, when they have wind hurling along the sand, I’ve been to them in the rain and sun and fog, and taken my dogs too, oh and children!

It’s a book which has honest opinions of each beach.  Some you may agree with, others you might not, but at least you’ll have peace of mind that there’s no exaggeration in any of the descriptions.  When you arrive you’ll know what to expect, so you can at last relax in the knowledge that you chose the right one for that day.
