Wells-next-the-Sea

Wells-next-the-Sea is one of the loveliest towns on the North Norfolk Coast

From the sweeping sandy beach bordered by pinewoods and colourful beach huts; around the bustling harbour where you’ll find children crabbing on the quay opposite the finest fish & chips on the coast; to the pretty leafy green known as ‘The Buttlands’ with its warm & welcoming taverns – Wells is the perfect, family friendly seaside destination

Take a walk through shady pinewoods to the sandy beach, and you'll be greeted with a row of colourful beach stilted huts and seals basking on the sand banks. Set in north Norfolk’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Wells is part of the largest coastal nature reserve in England and Wales, and is a magnet for bird-watchers. Its marshes provide the perfect habitat for wading birds, bitterns, avocets, marsh harriers and winter geese.
