This live camera looks out over Hunstanton, a seaside town on the north-west edge of Norfolk facing The Wash. Open it to check how the coast looks right now, what the tide and sky are doing, and whether it is a good moment for a walk. The page also shows local time and the forecast for the next three days.
Hunstanton is one of the few places on England's east coast where the cliffs are red and white striped and drop straight down to the sand. The town grew up as a Victorian resort, and its promenade, pier-side amusements and wide sands still shape its character. Behind the seafront lie flat farmland and salt marsh typical of this part of Norfolk, and the air often feels open and bright, with big skies over the water.
Because the coast here is shallow, the sea can move far out at low tide and come back quickly, so the same view can look very different within a few hours. Clear days show the far shore and the sky clearly, while grey weather softens the light over the sand. Early mornings and late afternoons usually give the warmest light, and in summer the beach is busiest around midday. Check the local time on the page to judge the tide and the light.
The coastal climate is mild but breezy, with cooler and wetter weather in winter and the most settled conditions from late spring to early autumn. Hunstanton is easy to reach by car or by the regional rail line, and parking is available near the seafront. If you want to compare conditions, the nearby cameras at Brancaster Beach, Burnham Overy Boathouse and River Burn in Norfolk show other stretches of this coast.
