Dog friendly
Short walk to
Horsey Gap beach
Rural part
of Horsey, Norfolk
Family friendly
You can walk to Mundesley or in the other direction to Walcott.
There is also a pathway along the back of the beach.
WALCOTT
Dog restrictions on the central part of the beach from the 1st of
May to the 30th of September. The road does run parallel to
the beach so take care. Facilities for your human include cafés,
fish and chips, ice-creams and toilets.
HAPPISBURGH
This is a nice sandy beach, very quiet and peaceful. There is a
problem though with coastal erosion so please do not get too
close to the edge of the cliff! Access to the beach is down a
steepish sandy slope. The red and white stripy lighthouse is very
pretty and makes for a pawsome place to pose for any holiday
snaps. There is a car park and toilets on the cliff top. An
alternative way to get to this beach is to park at Cart Gap and
walk down the concrete slip – it’s much easier than the sandy
slope. Doggies interested in history might like to know that flint
tools over 800,000 years old have been dug up here. That’s the
oldest evidence of human occupation anywhere in the UK.
Wow!
SEA PALLING
A pretty sandy beach with restrictions on the west side from the
1st of May to the 30th of September but completely dog
friendly if you head eastwards. There is a car park. Just before
you arrive at the beach you will notice an impressive life-size
sculpture of a bull seal called Cooter, who has been visiting Sea
Palling beach since 2012. He is carved from one single piece
of wood.
Two bedrooms;
double and twin room

WAXHAM
Lovely beach with soft, yellow sand backed by grassy dunes.
It is very quiet – you might not see anyone! There have been
reports of adders in the sand dune area so keep your eyes peeled
for any warning signs. There is no regular car parking
(sometimes local campsites offer day parking) or facilities.
HORSEY GAP
We would kindly ask that you avoid walking on this beach
between October and February when it is breeding time for the
seals. If you get too close you will upset the seals; they may
even try and bite you, resulting in a very, very nasty infection!
You can view the seals from the roped off paths in the dunes,
but please stay on the lead at all times and listen to the advice
from the wardens. If you think seeing the seals will be too much
and you might get over-excited we suggest you avoid this area
altogether. There is a pay and display car park.
WINTERTON-ON-SEA
Another wooftastic sandy beach which forms part of the
Winterton Dunes National Reserve which means there is a lot
of wildlife about and birds nesting, so do not disturb them. Like
Horsey Gap the seals arrive on this beach during the breeding
season so please heed the advice from the wardens, stay on the
lead, and keep a safe distance away. There is a large grassy car
park. The pretty historic fishing village is full of thatched
cottages and well worth a look round. It is the most northerly
seaside village in the borough of Great Yarmouth and is the
pawfect location if you want to get away from it all! It is even
mentioned in the Domesday Book!
