Caister-on-Sea is a coastal village and parish on the northern edge of the borough of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, England. It sits beside wide sandy beaches and low dunes and is notable for the visible remains of a Roman fort nearby, which hint at a long maritime history. The village is also close to the inland waterways of The Broads, making it a gateway between seaside and wetland landscapes.
Today the local economy revolves around tourism, seaside leisure and small-scale fishing, with holiday parks, caravan sites and independent shops and cafés busy in summer; there is a strong local maritime and lifeboat tradition. Socially it combines a year‑round resident community - including families and retirees - with the seasonal influx of visitors, and retains a handful of pubs, clubs and community groups that reflect its coastal character.
