Visit Burnham Overy Staithe in north Norfolk to discover a delightful secluded beach on this stretch of Norfolk Coast AONB. From here cast your eyes across the tidal creeks and salt marshes to the Scolt Head Island National Nature Reserve – or take the village ferry there in season. Here, wildlife thrives as nature is allowed to take its course without intervention amidst the mud flats and shingle of this offshore barrier island.

From our Burnham Overy Staithe holiday cottages many a sailing holiday is enjoyed from the village’s harbour and out to sea. For those who prefer to explore on foot, the Norfolk Coast path will steer you through the sand dunes to Holkham Beach and its estate beyond. You won’t have to venture too far to spot the towering Burnham Overy Windmill and its adjacent watermill that dominates the skyline here.

Shake off the sand for supper at the popular The Hero pub before retreating for a sound night’s sleep in one of our Burnham Overy Staithe holiday homes.
