Welcome to Brancaster Staithe

Brancaster Staithe is a charming village located on the North Norfolk coast. It is a popular destination for tourists who come to enjoy the stunning views of the sea and the surrounding countryside. The village is situated on the banks of the River Burn, which flows into the sea at Brancaster Harbour. The harbour is a busy place, with fishing boats and pleasure craft coming and going throughout the day.

One of the main attractions of Brancaster Staithe is its beautiful beach. The beach is a long stretch of golden sand, backed by dunes and salt marshes. It is a great place to relax and soak up the sun, or to take a refreshing dip in the sea. The beach is also popular with windsurfers and kite surfers, who come to take advantage of the strong winds that blow across the coast.

Brancaster Staithe is also a great place for walkers and cyclists. There are many footpaths and cycle routes that criss-cross the surrounding countryside, offering stunning views of the coast and the nearby villages. The village itself has a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, making it a great place to stop for a bite to eat or a drink after a long day exploring the area.
