With a long stretch of unspoilt sandy beach, Wells beach is a tranquil spot to enjoy the coast. The beach is ideal for bird watching and relaxing. Beautiful beach huts on the edge of the sand complete the picture-perfect seaside scene. You are also guaranteed to find an ice cream van here in summer!

Holkham Beach

Highlight • Beach

A huge sandy beach that's wonderful to walk along. Inland there is a nice area of dunes and pine woods. The beach expands hugely at low tide, but at high tide you can still walk from Lady Anne's Drive east to the lifeboat station at Wells-Next-the-Sea.
