Show Respect For Seashore Creatures
Seashore creatures are fascinating and have found special ways of living in their environment. They have to adapt to survive the rigours of wave-action, exposure and predation. Some have shells for protection, but many need to hide under rocks, seaweed or in the sand.
Exploring The Seashore Is Fun, But Please Remember:
Take Photos, Not Living Animals
If you want to buy a souvenir:
Avoid Disturbing Wildlife
You can see many animals at their best when they are behaving naturally. This is true for animals such as seals, otters and seabirds, as well as rock pool animals. To avoid disturbing wildlife:
Take Your Rubbish Home With You
Beach rubbish is unsightly and can be dangerous to sea creatures. Much of the litter on our shores comes from tourists, shipping, fishing vessels and sewage outfalls. You can help to reduce this problem when visiting the coast:
Watch Where You Go
Beaches and sand dunes are prone to erosion and easily damaged by people and vehicles. To help protect the coast:
Be Careful!
All cliffs are unstable and potentially dangerous, yet they are an impressive sight and from the cliff top it is possible to enjoy a panoramic view of the coastline. Cliffs also provide a very specialised habitat for the plants and animals that live on them.
Take Care Near Cliffs:
General
Road Safety:
Spacing and Density
Chemical Toilets and Waste Water Disposal:
The Norfolk coast is home to a great variety of animal species, the perfect location for enthusiasts and the family alike. Take a trip to Park Farm and have a guided tour on the back of a tractors trailer, ride the Wash Monster across The Wash to visit the seals, or perhaps take a stroll down to Wild Ken Hill, a rewilding project focusing on returning 1500 acres of Norfolk land back to nature so it can become wild once again. Have a unique experience viewing populations of wild animals such as beavers, cattle, wild boar, kites, owls, bats and more.
All this on our Norfolk Coast Camping venue doorstep!
There are many beautiful coastal routes to explore whether you're on foot or cycling. If cycling isn't your thing then why not take a gentle stroll (or an intense hike!) along the coast? Peddars Way has many beautiful sights to see from stunning cliffs to natural wildlife. Fancy yourself as a bit of a water baby? Brave the British seas & hire a Paddle Board! It's the ultimate couple's activity, admire the local scenery and sunsets as you paddle lightly through the open sea! Another perfect couples activity - Kayaking! Hire a kayak & work together sailing along the beautiful Norfolk Coastline.
Norfolk Coast Camping offers many adventures!
The Norfolk coast is bustling with independent shops and businesses with a wide variety of locally grown food to enjoy. The Rose & Crown is everything you’d expect from a Norfolk village inn – twisting passages and hidden corners, low ceilings and old beams, pamment floors, log fires, excellent beers, friendly staff, and a relaxed, informal atmosphere. They are also very dog-friendly! If you're after something different try Thornham Deli which is a bit further afield taking about 20 minutes to drive to. However, it is well worth the drive with fresh cakes, coffee, and meals all on offer. Take a walk down the beautiful beach where the dunes are used for nesting birds then relax with a coffee at the deli.
