What visitors say
It is a very long shingle beach. They say best to go when it is low tide as the pebbles are easier to walk on. Be aware that you do get seals on the shore here - so keep well away and dogs under very close control. Handy car park, but no facilities.

I love coming here for a walk on the shingle beach. It is normally windy but it has a sparse beauty. You can walk for a long way here, and the seals are at the far end. The car park is right by the beach, so easy access or one can sit in the car while the other goes walking.

We have visited over Christmas time so weather was a little dull but still a beautiful beach. Really long beach so great for a decent walk and there should be seal at the one end (Blakney point) Nice little car park right next to the beach to park at but also the option to have a long walk as well. About a mile from Cley itself.

Possibly to witness grey seals either in the sea or on the beach. The beach is comprised of pebbles and there is a sort of rain/sun shelter near the car park which is useful for us pallod persons and/or to shelter from storms. The sky looks like it is endless here and the dunes and marshlands make for a picturesque environment and view on one side with the sea and sky on the other. Plenty of space and rarely too crowded. Parking also reasonably-priced for long durations.
