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.

Many places to park along the main road through the common.

The eye-catching red and white striped cliffs at Hunstanton were formed millions of years ago beneath the sea. The unusual colors are made up of carrstone (sand and iron oxide) and chalk. You might also find fossils hidden in the rocks as dead creatures would have fallen onto the seabed over 70 million years ago. At the rocks, you might also fulmar birds who often make their nests here. The cliff is a must-see place in the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
