There are two sides to Hunstanton, the elegant Victorian resort with its Esplanade Gardens and sedate air of a traditional resort and the buzzing family resort with attractions such as the Oasis Leisure Centre, Crazy Golf and Pitchand-Putt Course. You can take a boat trip to see the seals, visit the Sea Life Sanctuary, try the water sports, check out the Princess Theatre, or enjoy the Funfair and seaside amusements. Past the stunning cliffs, Old Hunstanton has more of a village feel, with cottages built of Norfolk carrstone, pubs, hotels and an excellent beach. You can walk from one resort to the other, so you can enjoy the buzz of the resort in the morning then spend a lazy afternoon lying amongst the dunes. MARKETS Regular markets on Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays.
