About

Hunstanton occupies a coastal position on The Wash in north-west Norfolk. The town is distinctive for its striped cliffs of red and white chalk, a notable geological feature visible at low tide. The area includes a promenade, a green, and a traditional seaside resort with amenities centred around the beach. The shoreline faces west, providing sunsets over the sea.

Inland, the area transitions to agricultural land and the village of Old Hunstanton, which has a quieter character. The surrounding parish contains caravan parks, golf courses, and areas of saltmarsh. Local ecology is defined by the coastal environment, with the cliffs and tidal conditions supporting specific birdlife. The economy remains closely linked to seasonal tourism and the maritime setting.
