Brancaster & North Norfolk Coast Local Area

Located along the picturesque coastline, Brancaster is a prime holiday spot. The vast sandy beaches with stretches of marram grass and sand dunes provide wonderful backdrops for kite surfing, wind surfing and walks on the dog friendly beaches. One of north Norfolk’s most sought-after coastal villages, Brancaster is set on the North Norfolk coast with its heritage coastline and fine sandy beaches in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It caters for almost everything you could wish for from the challenging links of the Royal West Norfolk Golf Club, to the vast sandy beaches with stretches of marram grass and sand dunes providing wonderful backdrops for kite or wind surfing, seals basking on the creek edges, to walks on the dog friendly beaches or simply just relaxing.

Divided into two areas, Brancaster is mainly residential and Brancaster Staithe is the thriving sailing village. The friendly sailing club hosts a lively Sailing Week every August.

For the keen golfers, Brancaster Golf Club welcomes visitors, and has the most outstanding atmospheric setting with captivating views of beaches and salt marshes.

For the children Brancaster has a lovely playing field with constructed apparatus, tennis court and a five-a-side football pitch.

After an active day outdoors there are several pubs and restaurants to visit all within a few miles. Enjoy a pizza cooked from scratch in The Jolly Sailors or if you are looking for something a little more then pop into The White Horse which is rated The Time’s top seafood restaurant.
One more treat for this area is the Deepdale Cafè in Burnham Deepdale. Serving homecooked breakfasts and a range of lunches, cakes and drinks this is a dog friendly family favourite.

The famous Brancaster Mussels are harvested here in winter and are well worth sampling in the local pubs and cafes.
