HUNSTANTON

Who wouldn't want a place by the sea? Hunstanton, a traditional, unspoilt coastal town, is perfect for a beach walk and a fish and chip supper. For residents, this Victorian gem offers even more.

Founded in 1846 by Henry Le Strange as a Victorian Gothic bathing resort, Hunstanton thrived with the railway from King's Lynn, becoming a top day-trip destination. Today, holidaymakers flock to Searles Leisure Resort, enjoy boat trips on the Wash Monster, fairground rides, and traditional arcades. The Princess Theatre, renamed in the 80s for Lady Diana Spencer, hosts live performances, films, and seasonal pantos. Golf enthusiasts can play mini-golf, pitch & putt, and the renowned Links course in Old Hunstanton.

Facing west across The Wash, "Sunny Hunny" is famous for its sunsets. Summer evenings are perfect for watching the sun set from the green, beach, or Victorian squares. Impressive Victorian and Edwardian properties line these squares, alongside contemporary homes, apartments, and senior living accommodations. Education options include a primary and secondary school (Smithdon High, a Grade II listed building), and Glebe House School, a co-educational prep school. Amenities feature a GP surgery, post office, leisure pool, and gym at The Oasis, overlooking the sea.

Local shopping includes Tesco, Sainsbury's, and a Lidl nearby in Heacham, along with a fantastic local greengrocer and award-winning deli. Dining options range from full English breakfasts to afternoon tea at Berni Beans and relaxing at wine bar Chives.

Hunstanton attracts young families, professionals, and retirees seeking a slower pace of life. Discover why this charming town is the perfect coastal retreat.
