Beach SOME LIMITS No dogs today · back OCT

Sheringham Beach

A shingle-and-sand beach with concrete groynes below the town promenade, good rock pools at low water and the lifeboat station at the west end. The central beach in front of the prom is closed to dogs in summer, but the stretches beyond the signed zone stay open, so walking east or west solves it. From October to April the whole beach is dogs' own.

Three miles, an hour and a half, with one genuinely steep pull up Beeston Bump, the glacial hill that rises straight out of the promenade at the east end of town and gives a two-county view from the top. It starts at the Cromer Road car park in Sheringham and follows the promenade east before climbing the Bump and returning through Beeston Regis on the field path behind the caravan site. Dogs are fine off lead on the grassy summit but the seaward face is an unfenced sixty-metre drop, cattle sometimes graze the Beeston Regis fields, and the council's no-dog area on the main beach runs from 1 May to 30 September, with leads required on the promenade in the same window.

Four and a half miles and around two and a quarter hours through Repton's parkland and the rhododendron woods, up the iron gazebo tower for the best view in Norfolk and out to the clifftop above Weybourne before looping back. It starts at the National Trust visitor centre car park off the A148, pay and display at £6.50 for non-members and free to members, with around 200 spaces that fill on rhododendron weekends in late May. Dogs must be on a lead throughout the park between 1 March and 31 July; outside those months they may run off lead under close control in the areas marked on the visitor centre map, and the clifftop edge here is unfenced and crumbling.

Five miles there and back, two and a half hours, on the Norfolk Coast Path along the highest cliffs in the county, with the North Norfolk Railway puffing along the ridge inland and Weybourne Hope's shingle at the far end. Start from the Station Road pay-and-display car park in the middle of Sheringham, two minutes from the seafront and the steam railway; the heritage line will bring you back from Weybourne station in season, which turns it into a linear walk. The clifftop path is unfenced with sheer drops in places and there is no way down for most of the route, so a lead is sensible the whole way, and the council bans dogs from the main Sheringham beach and requires leads on the promenade from 1 May to 30 September.

The Poppy Line, five and a quarter miles of steam railway from Sheringham through Weybourne to Holt, running along the cliff top and over the heath. Dogs travel on daily services for a small fee and are genuinely welcome, provided they are on a short lead at stations and stay off the seats and tables. A ride out and a walk back along the coast path is the classic way to use it.

West Runton

Chalk reef, flint shingle and the best rock pooling between Cromer and Sheringham, reached down the gap at the end of Water Lane. The elephant found in the cliff here in 1990 is still the biggest ever dug up in Britain. A summer exclusion covers the beach and slipway, so check the signs at the top of the ramp before you go down.

East Runton Beach

East Runton

The gap beach a mile west of Cromer pier, with a slipway, a beach cafe and sand that joins up with Cromer's at low tide. This one only came under an order in December 2025, so the summer exclusion here is newer than the rest of the coast and worth re-reading. The eastern half of the year is unrestricted.

Weybourne Beach

Weybourne

Steep shingle where the water goes deep close in, which is why the invasion scares of four centuries all named this spot. No dog order applies, so it is open all year, and it is the quietest beach within reach of Sheringham. There is a car park a short walk from the shingle at the end of Beach Lane.

It starts at the Runton Road cliff-top car park in Cromer, pay and display and the closest to the western beach ramp; check the tide before you set off because the beach section is cut off at high water and the only exits are the gaps at East and West Runton. Dogs run free on the sands outside the restricted zones, the rock pools and freshwater seeps give a drink, but the council excludes dogs from the marked areas of Cromer and West Runton beaches from 1 May to 30 September.

The cliff path is grassy and unfenced with a long drop, dogs can go off lead on the golf-course margin but not on the fairways, and the council bans dogs from the marked areas of both Cromer and Overstrand beaches and requires leads on the proms from 1 May to 30 September.

A shingle ridge at the end of Beach Road with the Norfolk Wildlife Trust's reedbeds behind it and the shingle running east to Salthouse and west to Blakeney Point. There is no seasonal ban here, but the reserve itself is closed to dogs and the shingle bank is a lead-only route, which is the deal that keeps the birds and the walkers apart. It is one of the great bleak walks of the English coast.
