Platja de Brancaster
Traditional Victorian seaside town with promenade - main beach rather rocky, south beach is best with plenty of sand - ideal for children as when not at high tide beach is wide, flat and shallow. At low tide nice to have long walk along shoreline from Hunstanton to Old Hunstanton beach round cliffs.
