About

Caister-on-Sea sits on the Norfolk coast. The village faces the North Sea and is backed by sandy beach, dunes and caravan parks that shape the shoreline. A compact high street with shops, cafes and pubs serves residents and visitors. Fishing, holiday accommodation and seasonal trade support the local economy, and a network of footpaths links the settlement with neighbouring coastal areas.
Close to the centre stand a tall red-brick Roman tower and the ruins of a 15th-century castle built by Sir John Fastolf. The tower, constructed in the late Roman period, now stands a short distance inland from the present shingle and sand, reflecting centuries of coastal change. A small lifeboat presence and local museums record maritime activity, while the shoreline and adjacent fields provide routes for walking and birdwatching along this stretch of Norfolk coast. Local community facilities include a primary school, village hall and sports pitches, used year-round by residents.
