Norfolk’s famous Coasthopper bus operates 7 days a week and connects the coast from Wells all the way to Mundesley. Enjoy spectacular views onboard as you journey along the coast to Norfolk’s most popular destinations including award-winning beaches, charming villages and bustling seaside towns.
Sanders Coaches, who run the popular Coasthopper bus service, were named Top Independent Bus Operator at the UK Bus Awards in both 2023 and 2024. The award recognises the delivery of a safe, reliable and quality bus service.
The Norfolk Coast is fortunate to have regular, reliable bus services connecting nearly all the towns and villages in the area. The two most useful services for visitors wanting to explore the area by bus are the Coastliner (route 36) and Coasthopper (CH1 covers Wells).
The only connecting point between the Coastliner and Coasthopper services is at The Buttlands bus stop in Wells-next-the-Sea.
The Lynx Coastliner 36 bus service runs seven days a week. It travels from King’s Lynn to Hunstanton and Wells-next-the-Sea, and finally Fakenham, via Burnham Market and Walsingham. It stops at lots of lovely seaside towns and villages along the way.
