Hop off the bus in Hunstanton: discover seaside charm and coastal beauty on a car-free escape
Nestled on the Norfolk coast, Hunstanton is a delightful destination for those travelling sans car. Arrive via train at King’s Lynn, then hop on the charming Coasthopper bus – an adventure in itself – which winds through the picturesque landscape, offering views of endless fields and the shimmering coastline.
Once in Hunstanton, you’ll be greeted by its iconic striped cliffs, a natural marvel that sets this seaside town apart. A leisurely stroll along the promenade reveals traditional English seaside favourites: from fish and chips to quirky shops and arcades brimming with nostalgia. Don’t miss a visit to the Sea Life Sanctuary, where you’re guaranteed to meet a seal or two!
The stunning sunsets over The Wash are not to be missed – as the sky explodes with colour, it’s easy to understand why Hunstanton is affectionately known as ‘Sunny Hunny’. Afterwards, cosy up at one of the town’s inviting pubs or cafes; Snettisham Beach and The Lodge offer local ales and hearty meals that are perfect after a day of exploration.
Venture a little further on foot or bike to the nearby Norfolk Coast Path, which promises breathtaking vistas and fresh sea air, or take the bus to Sandringham Estate for a touch of royal history. Travelling around Hunstanton without a car is a breeze, letting you enjoy the journey just as much as the destination.
