CANOEING, KAYAKING AND PADDLEBOARDING NORTH NORFOLK COAST
Paddling a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard is an excellent way to explore the coastal waters, sceneries, and wildlife of Norfolk. In Norfolk, there are numerous reliable rental firms that supply equipment and instruction. There are also plenty of opportunities for skilled kayakers and canoeists to take to the water. The varied coastline of Norfolk offers a variety of paddling opportunities, from protected creeks and rivers to more difficult open-water crossings.
Before venturing out on the water, regardless of your level of competence, be sure to verify the tide times and weather conditions. Conditions on the water can change rapidly.
HEACHAM AND HUNSTANTON SUNSETS
Both Heacham and Hunstanton are wonderful sites to view the sunset. If you are blessed with excellent weather, you will enjoy sitting on the beach and watching the sun set over the water. Our campground is only a few minutes’ walk from Heacham Beach, which makes it an ideal spot for this!

PLACES TO EAT & DRINK
The coast of Norfolk is teeming with independent stores and companies that sell a variety of locally sourced foods. The Rose & Crown is a quintessential Norfolk country inn, complete with winding hallways and secret corners, low ceilings and old beams, pamment flooring, log fireplaces, good beers, friendly staff, and a relaxed, casual environment. Additionally, they are dog-friendly! If you’re looking for something unique, drive around 20 minutes to Thornham Deli, which is somewhat further out. However, the travel is well worth it due to the availability of fresh pastries, coffee, and meals. Take a stroll down the gorgeous beach where birds nest in the dunes, and then unwind with a cup of coffee at the cafe.
