    So enjoy looking at this fabulous view on your web cam, as cannot visit Hunstanton at the moment.

    Hubby & I stayed at the fabulous Coast Guard Station for a week in late July. A glorious spot! Loved walking into sunny Hunny, & exploring north Norfolk. The webcams are great to remind us of our lovely time.

    Nice to see the hard work going into building the bonfire and funfair for the firework display.Shame though with the weather as it is it might be a bit too soggy for people to enjoy.I shall watch it from the comfort of my settee here in the Midlands.

  • Wild Bill 11 months ago
    Can’t see if they’re building up the big bonfire for Saturday? They used to ask for any unwanted wood hanging around.my mate took his old dog kennel up one year.. Will be wet build up I guess they use some sort of accelerant on it to get it going.. Wonder if the lasers are back again – like Star Wars lool

  • Vivien 2 years ago
    Superb!

  • Joan. 2 years ago
    Thank you, I can give it a try.

  • Steve 2 years ago
    I live in Spain ands it is many years since I walked down there, but I do not think you will find it steep.

  • Joan 2 years ago
    Thanks Steve, sounds a bit too steep for me.

  • Steve 2 years ago
    Back in the 60’s the access to the beach was a steep often muddy path. Around 1967 the council built a concrete path which went around the cliff as you walked down and was appx 3 mts wide. It was built on a red rock wall collected from the cliffs and even had a metal handrail. Over the following few years the sand covered it. It is still there under the sand.

  • Joan 2 years ago
    Looks good car park for beach access. Is it a steep walk down to beach ? Hope to be there in couple of weeks.

  • Jeannie 2 years ago
    What a beautiful d sun set

  • Jasmin 2 years ago
    Hunstanton looking beautiful this morning. Thank you to the gentleman cleaning the green. Always looks lovely

  • Mark 3 years ago
    I do indeed remember Steve :) Many an enjoyable hour spent idling away the time down there!!

  • Lexi 3 years ago
    Been watching these cameras at night time, last night we had a full moon and by around 4am the moon was in full view of all cams, casting its eire glow on the sea, it could have been daylight it was so bright out there, utterly gorgeous!

  • Steve 3 years ago
    For anybody that is interested. The Pillbox near the Le strange Arms was on the beach . There is a large sand dune between the beach huts, it was there. The remains took the shape of two marine landing craft which was great fun for us kids ( remember Mark) and is most likely still there under the sand.

  • Steve 3 years ago
    Yes that was very interesting. One thread took me to pillboxs. As children we played in pillboxs, one on the way to Holme, one down waterworks road and one in front of the Le Strange Arms which the army blew up, but we still played on what was left.

  • Steve 3 years ago
    Thankyou I will give it a try

  • Jenny 3 years ago
    Steve, just type MNF24939 in the search bar, then click on the Norfolk Heritage Explorer option.

  • Steve 3 years ago
    I could not find info on this site. What did you type in?

  • Jenny 3 years ago
    Jeannie, have a look at Norfolk Heritage Explorer. It seems the tunnels etc are connected to WW2.

  • Jeannie 3 years ago
    Have to get Ellie Griffiths archaeologist character Ruth Galloway on the case. Although she usually gets involved in murder cases.

  • Zolfo 3 years ago
    Time for a geophysical survey of the area and a summer archaeological event lead by Heritage Norfolk ? Lets get recording our local history.

  • Steve 3 years ago
    That is interesting. The house must be at the lighthouse end as those houses were built after the war. The crater where the tunnel I went into I was told, was made by the first Zeplin bomb to fall in first world war. Maybe not true!

  • Lynn 3 years ago
    Steve, a friend of mine who lives on Northgate has got one of these tunnels in her garden. Its blocked off now and is just used for storage but it used to go right down to the beach.

  • Steve 3 years ago
    In a local magazine I read online a year or so ago. Dick Melton wrote that hundreds of men were in these tunnels and it was top secret. One part was so big that a band entertained the men. Very little has ever been said about this.

  • Steve 3 years ago
    I forgot to say that the tunnel came out in the face of the cliffs roughly where this cable is. I was told the tunnel had been blocked off

  • Steve 3 years ago
    As a child living in Old Hunstanton I was taken down into a tunnel .The entrance was in a large crater now filled in and is part of the pitch and putt coarse. There were many tunnels inside these cliffs used during the war.

  • Zolfo Springs 3 years ago
    There’s an old armoured coaxial cable 100m from the base of the cliff, on the beach opposite the Lighthouse. Does anyone knows what it was used for ? Is it an old WW2 communication cable, an old GPO cable or a cable to the other side of The Wash. I know some lightships had cable comms but I don’t think Lynnwell lightship had such a luxury. I did take a section to the Hunstanton Heritage centre a few years ago but they had no idea it was on the beach. Over to you.

  • Susan Lawrence 3 years ago
    Love this place. My Nan used to live in one of the coastguard cottages no. 6 loved staying with her. Fantastic place to grow up.

  • Steve 3 years ago
    I saw on the local newspapers site that they are about to knock down the bus station. I hope somebody goes down and takes a few photos as in years to come they will be of interest. Plus it will show how short sighted the council were.

    can anyone remember the gray day cafe. 1960 .

  • Steve 3 years ago
    Back in the 60`s a man called Fred Turrell lived at the boat house Cafe, his wife ran the cafe. His face was well weather beaten from living at the coast all his life. Before the Life boat was re introduced if there was an emergency he would light an oil drum to help the helicopter where to go.

  • The Bard 3 years ago
    I’ve been visiting Hunny for some 50-years, and have always missed it on returning home. This community webcam idea is a breath of fresh air, which means I can still feel part of this wonderful coastal town… If you ever decide on another webcam view… The lighthouse is very picturesque. ☺

  • Steve 3 years ago
    Back in the 60s I saved my pocket money and my Father took me to Cole’s shop in the high street to buy a large shrimping net. My friend had a father who was a carpenter so he had one made for him. When the tide was out and on the turn we would go and catch loads of shrimps. My Mother would cook them for us and then we went around the village selling them for one shilling a pint, which was a lot back then. Then we would be off to Flemings shop to buy bars of CDM .

  • Elizabeth 3 years ago
    Love this webcam, reminds me of many a visit to this wonderful place

  • Steve 3 years ago
    In 1963 I was 5 years old and I can remember my farther taking me down to the beach to see to sea that had frozen over. While he chatted to Percy Richardson I Walked on the sea ( close to the beach)

  • Steve 3 years ago
    For many years I was a Sales Rep and a customer of mine in Skegness told me that when this car park is full on a sunny day and the sun catches the windsreens as you look across the wash it looks like a large greenhouse. Regarding the horses on the beach back in the 1970s some top horse trainers from Newmarket would send horses down for a break and exercise to a stable in Holme. I don´t know if this is still the case but the speed they were going at the other day this could well be what still happens,

  • Adrian 3 years ago

  • mark 3 years ago

    Wonderful project. Both my husband & I were born in Old Hunstanton and Hunstanton in 1942 & 1939 and lived there until 1963 when we married. These have been lovely to view during lock-down. I do hope that a few of your viewers have donated a small amount to help with the running costs.

  • Angela 3 years ago
    This is our very favorite place to go. The beach is one of the most beautiful in the world for us. On a hot summers day you could imagine you are on a tropical beach.

  • Steve 3 years ago
    As a child in the 1960s my bedroom window faced this car park. From Easter to September there was a man on the gate collecting money and it was never a cheap place to park. When the weather was warm it was always full. As it will be this summer. The price has never put people off coming. If the money was not raised this way it would most likely go onto the council tax bill and in a town where most of the employment is seasonal people would not be able to pay for it. In the winter months when it was free hardly anybody used it and I played golf on it. The pitch and putt coarse was a corn field owned by Mr Pull. A man very much missed. I have lived in Spain for the last 20 years and I can assure you that most places of interest does charge for parking.

    Pity the car park is ‘pay and display’ if it was in Spain it would be free, why pay for natural beauty ?

    This is just sheer brilliance, love the view and it shows the very best side of Hunstanton (in my opinion only) and the real-time live video feed is even better 3 webcams in Sunny Hunny while Kings Lynn, a major populous town for the county of Norfolk, has 1 and it's an updated one every 30 sec for the poontons and that's it. Hunstanton is showing King's Lynn how it should be done. Well done and congrats on the new webcam, I hope they stay maintained and stay live for many years to come

Cliff Top & Old Hunstanton

Starting from the Esplanade Gardens, you can explore the stunning clifftop scenery and read the story of St Edmund, Hunstanton’s most famous visitor and the very first patron saint of England. His story leads you to the ruins of St Edmund’s chapel, built in 1272 in his memory.

The stripes in Hunstanton's cliffs are caused by layers of different-coloured carrstone and chalk. Carrstone is the brown layer, and the red and white chalk is made from limestone. Limestone forms in warm tropical climates, which suggests that Hunstanton's climate was once warmer than it is today. The colour of the red chalk is due to iron staining.

Old Hunstanton Beach is home to picture-postcard rolling sand dunes and beach huts stretched along the wide sandy and dog-friendly beach. The Hunstanton Lifeboat Station at Old Hunstanton is the base for the local RNLI housing a B class lifeboat and hovercraft.


Coastguard Lookout

Originally built as a Marconi Wireless Station back in 1906, during WWII the building continued as a signal station and was visited by his Majesty King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1943.

Today, the former Coastguard Lookout is now a holiday cottage and offers guests a truly unique holiday experience in Hunstanton with unparalleled panoramic sea views.

Located next door to the old lighthouse and sitting on top of Hunstanton's famous striped cliffs, the Coastguard Lookout is less than a 5-minute walk to the beach and boasts a top floor lookout tower.

The property itself sleeps 4 people featuring a double bedroom and bunk beds. The bedrooms are all located on the first floor and come with that amazing sea view.
