Hunstanton

Hunstanton is a seaside resort town located on the north-west coast of Norfolk, England. It is known for its distinctive Victorian architecture and its unusual west-facing beach, which offers spectacular sunsets. The town's origins as a resort date back to the mid-19th century, when Henry Styleman Le Strange developed it as a fashionable destination.

The colourful cliffs that line the beach are a prominent feature of Hunstanton. These cliffs are composed of carrstone, a ferruginous sandstone, which gives them a distinctive reddish-brown hue. The beach itself is largely sandy at low tide, revealing rock pools that are popular with families. The town also boasts a pier, a lighthouse, and a Sealife Sanctuary.

Hunstanton's popularity as a holiday destination has endured, attracting visitors with its traditional seaside attractions, including donkey rides, amusements, and a range of shops and eateries. The town serves as a gateway to the Wash, an important estuary for wildlife, and is a good base for exploring the surrounding Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town has a railway station providing connections to King's Lynn and beyond.
