Sea Palling

Sea Palling is a small, quiet family seaside resort on the East Norfolk Coast. This wonderful, blue flag, sandy beach is deserted for most of the year and is a great place for a walk. A number of reefs have been built as part of the coast defences and it calms the waves making Sea Palling an ideal place to swim or for children to play. There are plenty of facilities for such a small resort, including a pub, cafe, shop and small amusement arcade. Sea Palling also is home to a jet-ski centre.

Sea Palling Guided Tour

We start our tour of Sea Palling at the ramp up and over the sea defences to the beach, which has the village lifeboat station at the top. There is a flood gate at the top of the ramp, which is closed when there is a threat of a storm surge, this offers some protection from flooding, one of the measures that was taken after the devastating floods in 1953, which affected so much of this area of the Norfolk Coast.

The beach at Sea Palling is simply stunning - one of the best on the Norfolk Coast. For most of the year you can walk for miles and hardly see anybody else! Offshore man-made reefs calm the water and this makes the beach a wonderful safe place to relax or walk the dog (pets welcome on limited parts of the beach all year round). Along the coast, sand dunes separate the low lying land from the sea. The dunes give great views of the coast and surrounding countryside.

Just off the beach is a pub called Reefs Bar. The pub has regular live music events, football on a big screen and is open all day. Another pub can be found in the village itself.

There is a snack bar and small amusement arcade right next to the beach. Further along is a fairly large village shop, opposite the village sign.

There is a real mixture of new and old style Norfolk cottages, some have been converted to bed and breakfast accommodation. The village also contains a shop/post office and a pub called the Old Hall Inn.

Sea Palling is home to Beach Rock Leisure, a jet ski centre, offering sales and a tractor pulls skis onto the beach. The reef at Sea Palling means that there is calm water to launch and enjoy your jet-ski.
