Holkham Hall Beach
Holkham is a very large 'official' beach on the north coast of Norfolk near Wells-next-the-Sea. It is part of the Holkham Hall estate, seat of the Coke - pronounced 'cook' - family. The beach is "suitable for everyone but... you have to be fit and able to walk some distance".
This is an extensive, wide and sandy beach with dunes and woods behind and a nature reserve nearby. 'Bags of space available for bare foot exploring, building sand castles, roaming the dunes and swimming'. The sand is very very fine indeed and full of shells. Another fan of this beach says 'well worth going nearer the sea, but you'll NEED a wind break. The beach is a "typical windswept north anglia beach"- which means there is a constant breeze. Good for families nearer the sea, choose your spot nearer the dunes. The beach IS patrolled by Police and Wardens from time to time to PROTECT the naturists.'

"This beach is really beautiful but can be very windy. There are posts cross from the trees behind to the beach itself announcing the Naturist area but these signs do say that naturism is not to be practised in the dunes but only on the beach!"
