Miles of unspoilt beaches stretch all the way along this part of the coast. Happisburgh though has seen more than its fair share of coastal erosion over the years with large chunks of cliffs regularly falling into the sea. The way down to beach from the village is now via a set of steep steal tower steps.  

A mile to the south of Happisburgh is 'Cart Gap' with its own car park, where there is easy access to the beach.
