With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Bacton Beach, 35 miles away, has to offer. East Ruston Old Vicarage should be at the top of your list here. Happisburgh Lighthouse and Mundesley Beach are must-see attractions too. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Stubborn Sand, 40 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Heacham Beach Holiday Park. (But we’re also huge fans of Norfolk Lavender and The Royal Station.)
