Lovely place to spend a day on the beach. Visitor centre staff are very welcoming and helpful. The cafe is well stocked with sandwiches made locally and cakes are locally sourced too. Highly recommend the coffee!

Very nice enjoyable walk on and along Holme Dunes. On ai windy mixture of weather. There's a car park at the end of the road. The cost to park, £5-£7.00.

Scenic if a little frought walking through the local golf course. A great place to walk your dog but be aware this time of year the local wildlife is nesting so keep your dogs on leads if they are a hunter breed or poorly trained. Don't venture out onto the sand flats if you're not a good swimmer.😅 You can easily make out wind turbines in the distance. The carparking is reasonable too.

Really nice views, quiet and in fact even though parking £7 that's for the day, so far cheaper then Hunstanton it self. Cafe located where you park and facilities. Seahenge was excavated to kings lynn museum but still nice little bit of history there also.
