The town beach below the green and the promenade, the only west-facing resort sand in Norfolk and the one that watches the sun set over the Wash. It also carries the longest dog ban on this coast, seven months rather than the usual five, so out of season is the time to bring a dog. Walk north past the end of the prom for Old Hunstanton, which is open all year.
