Heacham is a large coastal village on the north‑west Norfolk coast in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, Norfolk, England. It faces The Wash and is known for long sandy beaches, dunes and salt marshes that attract birdwatchers and families; nearby coastal towns include Hunstanton and the royal Sandringham estate sits a short drive away.
The village has medieval roots and a handsome parish church, but today its economy leans on tourism, holiday parks and local agriculture. Visitors often stop at attractions such as Norfolk Lavender, while a mixed community of year‑round residents and seasonal visitors supports shops, cafes and a steady programme of local events.
