A very popular tourist destination, Hunstanton offers a gently sloping beach with rock pools at the Northern end leading to Hunstanton’s famous red and white stripped cliffs, the unusual colours caused by sand and iron oxide and chalk.

As the only west facing resort on the east coast of England, it's one of the few spots you can watch the sunset across the sea.

There are two sides to Hunstanton, the elegant old Victorian town with its Esplanade Gardens and the lively traditional family holiday resort with amusements.

Stopped for a round of crazy golf whilst doing the rebellion way. Guy put our bikes tucked away nice and safe.

The beach isn't visible from the cliff road but you do get some great views out across the Wash, with the westering sun if you're here later in the day.
