The Beach

The beach at Wells-next-the-Sea, and on to Holkham to the West, is one of the most beautiful areas of North Norfolk. Located 1.5 miles from the town, the sandy beach opens out to the North Sea. You can walk or drive to the beach, or take the miniature railway which runs up to the Pinewoods Camping Site.

It has earned it's own fame being used in the filming of the final scene of the 1998 film Shakespeare in Love. The video for All Saints single Pure Shores was also filmed on the Beach. More recently it has been used for the ITV drama Kingdom along with other areas of Wells and the nearby town of Swaffham.

The site offers the perfect chance to walk along the beach and through the Pinewoods forest then have a paddle in the sea, followed by a hot drink in the cafe.
