Holkham Beach
Sand dunes, open shoreline, and coastal landscapes on the Norfolk coast
Holkham Beach sits on the north Norfolk coast, where wide sands, dunes, pine woodland, and tidal flats form one of the most distinctive coastal landscapes in England. Located beside the Norfolk Coast Path and within the wider Holkham National Nature Reserve, the beach forms part of a protected coastline shaped by tides, wildlife, and natural processes.
Positioned between Burnham Overy Staithe and Wells-next-the-Sea, Holkham Beach connects to a wider network of routes, landscapes, and places across the Norfolk Coast National Landscape. Today, it remains one of the most recognisable coastal locations in Norfolk, linking open shoreline, nature-rich habitats, and long-distance walking routes along the county's north coast.
