The Beach at Sea Palling in NorfolkSea Palling Beach

Two of North Norfolk’s beaches have featured in a Sunday Times’  list of the UK’s best. The beaches at Sea Palling and Holme-next-the-Sea were listed at 17 and 14 respectively in the top 20 selection by the Times’ chief travel writer Chris Haslam.
