What travelers are saying

I absolutely love visiting Happisburgh although I must confess to a certain amount of sadness when looking at the coastal erosion.

The café is friendly and serves good food and ice creams and there is a nice walk along the beach or cliff top to Cart Gap.

It's hard to find dog friendly beaches this time of year but the best one in this area is happisburgh the car park gets very busy so get there early it's up a narrow lane so be prepared to reverse at busy times.

Fabulous Beach for Dogs

Superb spot...you can walk your dogs from here to the south for miles and miles...safe and sandy mostly and friendly seals along the way. Occasional spots with cafe's just off beach for some R&R. Closer to Happisburgh there's a dog friendly pub in the village

Lovely beach!

If you’re after a gorgeous beach for walking the dogs look no further, a lovely quiet beach with a nice mix of sand and pebbles. Sea wall is pretty good to walk down if you don’t fancy the beach itself!

Kids loved it

We were taken here by friends and the kids loved paddling in the waves (although I'd say be cautious as the waves can be big for very small children), also in the little pools of water left by the receding tide. There is a car...More

A lovely walk

We had a lovely walk along the beach watching a seal pop his head up and down. There were sand martins nesting in the cliffs and we even saw a kestral flying off with one of the sand martin chicks. The RNLI were also out...More

Beautiful beach but beware

The beach can be unsafe but that is due to coastal erosion. I've been coming here since a baby and have deep connections with the place. I love collecting sea glass and dipping my feet in the water. The waves are big and if say...More

The beach

I cannot review the beach, the slope has gone. We went to the car park and turned round. The footpath to Walcott has been diverted along a road.

Happisburgh Beach...

Beautiful beach.. Nice place to have a walk and enjoy the view. (Maybe take a picnic ) Access is via the car park down a steep sandy slope, could prove difficult if you have mobility problems. Toilets available by the car park.. Dog friendly..
