The elegant resort of Hunstanton, or ‘Hunston’ as it is known locally, is renowned for its unique striped cliffs and magnificent sunsets, made special by its position as the only west-facing resort on the East coast.
The seaside town began as a purposely-built resort in 1846 and still retains its Victorian charm and character.
Hunstanton’s excellent beach offers ideal conditions for playing on the sand, exploring rock pools, and enjoying the sea.
The Wash Monster
The smaller of two amphibious vehicles (Wash Monsters) that take visitors deep into The Wash to visit Seal Island, one of the many sandbanks visible at low tide, and where the biggest single colony of Common Seals in Europe is located.

Hunstanton's Central Promenade runs along the seafront and is the location of the ever-popular and traditional Donkey Rides, Searle's Seal Tours, the Sea Life Sanctuary, Oasis Leisure Centre, Waterside Bar, funfair, bowls, crazy golf, and many stalls and kiosks selling snacks and seaside souvenirs.

The Wash Monster
The smaller of the two amphibious vehicles (Wash Monsters) that take visitors deep into The Wash to visit Seal Island, one of the many sandbanks visible at low tide, and where the biggest single colony of Common Seals in Europe is located.
Despite their name, Common Seals are a lot less common in the UK than Grey Seals, and they tend to be found on the east coast.
There are currently over 3,000 seals in the colony.
Officially known as a LARCV (Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo vessel) this magnificent vehicle was originally designed for use by American Marines in Vietnam as a landing craft.
The Wash Monster can travel up to 13mph on sand and 8 knots on water.
The Wash
A largely rectangular bay and estuary at the north-west corner of East Anglia where Norfolk meets Lincolnshire.
It is one of the broadest estuaries in the United Kingdom and is fed by the rivers Witham, Welland, Nene and Great Ouse.
It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, a Nature Conservation Review Site, a National Nature Reserve, a Ramsar site, a Special Area of Conservation and a Special Protection Area.
It is located within the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and part of it is the Snettisham Royal Society for the Protection of Birds Nature Reserve.
