Dog friendly beaches

Most Norfolk beaches allow dogs. You may have restricted areas around the major resorts, but walk half-a-mile in either direction and the restriction is usually lifted. Restrictions apply from May to the end of October. The best places in our experience are the empty beaches at Old Hunstanton and on the East Norfolk Coast at Sea Palling, Horsey and Winterton on Sea. The North Norfolk Coast has many nature reserves, but Holkham Bay is excellent for dog walking and you could also try Cromer beach.
