Cromer seafront |
There’s more
to Cromer than crabs. The sand and shingle beach backs onto the
North Norfolk cliffs. Rock pools are revealed at low tide. The lifeboat
launches from the end of the pier. Cromer is a popular destination
for families and it is ideal for swimming and surfing.
Pier and
beach |
The Victorians
made Cromer a popular resort; many of the buildings date from then.
The town expanded rapidly during the last 50 years. The
beach is managed by North Norfolk District Council and is one of
three beaches in the county to feature in the Marine Conservation
Society's Good Beach Guide.
On the beach
you will find toilets, beach huts (there’s a waiting list if you
want to buy) and a public shower. Close by are cafés, ice
cream sellers and amusement arcades. There's a promenade, a pier
with a theatre and gardens. The town centre shops are nearby. You
can walk along the cliff-tops to the lighthouse. The Cromer Carnival
is held in August.
Cromer has a
Blue Flag and is the winner of
a Seaside Award. Dogs are banned
from the main part of beach between 1st May and 30th September.
Lifeguards are
on duty from the Spring Bank Holiday weekend in May to the end of
the school summer holidays in September. There is also a lifeboat
station and a first aid point.Click here

Pay & display
parking is available near the beach. There is free roadside parking
nearby.
Toilets for
people with disabilities are available. There are some ramps on
to the beach but the level of the beach is constantly changing,
so these may not always be usable. Orange badge holders can get
free car parking close to the beach.
