Hunstanton is a seaside town in Norfolk, a favourite of my family for day-trips when our sons were younger. Aside from the usual seaside resort facilities that appealed greatly to children, Hunstanton is also famous for its coastal cliffs with distinct white chalk over red limestone features.
A dominant feature that you will find in the beach at Hunstanton is that of a wave breaker or groyne and they are quite numerous in the area. Groynes are beach control structures needed to maintain beach levels.

Summer day-trip to Hunstanton

Hunstanton is a popular seaside town in Norfolk, a favourite of our family for day-trips when our sons were younger. Before arriving at this town we always take a customary stop at Sandringham Country Park to rest our legs, grab a quick bite or take a brief wander nearby or let the children play.
On this particular visit in 2014 we started out late in the morning so after an hour's drive we arrived at Sandringham Country Park. We stayed longer, had lunch and just enjoyed the country park more than usual. The kids played longer, too. I think we tried going into the House but decided not to as it will be late when we finish the tour.
From Sandringham it was just a 15-minute drive to Hunstanton. On arrival the tide was very low so we thought walking in the tidal flats would be best. And we also had a go at crabbing as we have heard of it from Filipino friends who have successfully tried it, but we failed! We only knew later that we were at the wrong place and that the best place for crabbing was still far ahead, near Old Hunstanton, I think. Ha!
