Between the quay and the beach there’s a scenic walk with stunning views of the salt marshes. The walk back to town after a long day building sandcastles, playing games and splashing about in the crystal clear water affords wonderful views of the historic Granary and harbour.
Behind the beach you’ll find the scented Corsican pine woods – established 150 years ago to protect the land from storms and tides, they’re a delight to explore, while offering a cool and shady respite from the sun.
Immediately to the west of Wells is the Holkham Estate, with it’s own famous beach, palladian hall, family adventure activities and extensive nature reserve.
To the east are the seal colonies and bird sanctuary at Blakeney Point, accessible via regular daily boat trips.
The North Norfolk coast is wild, breathtaking and beautiful, and Wells-next-the-Sea is the perfect location from which to explore the region’s unique and spectacular landscape.
