Hunstanton: Cliff Top

Hunstanton is a classic Victorian seaside town on the north coast of Norfolk, facing west across The Wash. It is famous for its striking striped cliffs of red and white chalk that create one of the most distinctive coastal views in England. The town was developed as a purpose-built resort in the 19th century and still has a traditional promenade, gardens, and family attractions. Hunstanton's west-facing position makes it one of the best places in the UK to watch sunsets over the sea. The beach offers a mix of sand and rock pools, popular with families, walkers, and fossil hunters. Nearby nature reserves and wide coastal landscapes make Hunstanton a gateway to the scenic Norfolk Coast.

The webcam is set high on the former Coastguard Lookout above Old Hunstanton Beach, offering a truly elevated perspective of the coastline. From this cliff-top vantage point, viewers enjoy a sweeping panoramic view that stretches across the vast sandy shoreline and out over The Wash. At low tide, the beach reveals an immense expanse of golden sand, creating dramatic patterns as the sea retreats. Colorful beach huts line the shore, adding charm and a classic seaside atmosphere to the scene. The dunes behind the beach frame the landscape and are often dotted with walkers exploring the coast. On breezy days, the webcam captures kitesurfers skimming across the water, bringing movement and energy to this spectacular seaside view.
