With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Bacton Beach, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here ought to be East Ruston Old Vicarage, Happisburgh Lighthouse and Mundesley Beach. Locals will also likely point you toward Stubborn Sand, 50 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be Heacham Beach Holiday Park. (But we’d also highly recommend Norfolk Lavender and The Royal Station.)
