Our coastline is remarkable – and we work hard to make sure it stays that way. Our role is to protect, enhance and champion the nature and communities of the Norfolk coast by working with local government, conservation organisations, communities and visitors.

Welcome to the Norfolk coast

The Norfolk coast is a landscape like no other. Big skies stretch across endless beaches, bird cries echo across the wilds of a saltmarsh, and coastal paths invite you to explore.

Sometimes called ‘the last great lowland wilderness’, we have plenty of space to lose yourself in nature…while our bustling market towns and seaside villages packed with local colour welcome you back to reality.

Offering more than just a great view or a coastal stroll…from King’s Lynn to Great Yarmouth, you can uncover rare species, taste home-grown local produce or dive into the stories of the people who have called this landscape home for thousands of years.
