East Runton Beach

About East Runton Beach

East Runton Beach is a delightful coastal gem nestled between the more well-known towns of Cromer and Sheringham. It features a mix of sand and pebbles, making it ideal for beachcombing, relaxing, and enjoying scenic walks along the shore. The beach is particularly famous for its geological significance, offering excellent opportunities for fossil hunting, especially after high tide. Its unspoiled nature and relatively quiet ambiance compared to its neighbors make it a favored spot for those seeking a more tranquil seaside experience.

Visiting East Runton Beach

Getting there

From Norwich, take the A140 towards Cromer. At the Cromer roundabout, take the second exit onto the A149, then shortly after, turn right onto the B1159 towards East Runton. Follow the signs to East Runton village and beach. Parking is available near the beachfront.

Parking

There is a car park available close to the beach, with additional on-street parking in the village. Even during busy times, the relatively lesser-known status of East Runton usually allows for easier parking compared to neighboring towns.

Toilets

Public toilets are available near the beach access points in East Runton.

Safety

Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
