Winterton-on-Sea is a compact coastal village and parish on the North Norfolk coast, a short drive north of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, England. It sits beside a long shingle and sandy beach backed by the protected Winterton Dunes, part of the wider Norfolk coast conservation landscape, and is well known to birdwatchers and naturalists for migrating and wintering birds and nearby seal haul-outs at Horsey.
Locally the economy blends small-scale fishing and agriculture with seasonal tourism - holiday cottages and caravan parks bring in visitors drawn to wildlife, quiet coastal walks and a modest local social life. There are still physical reminders of coastal history, from a medieval parish church to Second World War defences, and an active community interest in conservation and maintaining the village’s distinct character close to the Norfolk coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
