The small coastal village of Holme next the Sea sits on the north‑west edge of the King's Lynn and West Norfolk district in Norfolk, England, overlooking The Wash. Backed by low sand dunes and salt marshes that form part of Holme Dunes National Nature Reserve, the area is famed for its wide beach, migrating birds, regular seal sightings and dramatic skies that attract nature lovers and photographers.
Historically a modest fishing and farming settlement, the village today blends a close‑knit local community with a tourism‑led economy - holiday cottages, caravan sites and guided walks bring a seasonal influx of visitors. Tangible reminders of coastal life and defence, including Second World War pillboxes and traditional Norfolk vernacular buildings, sit alongside conservation work and the Norfolk Coast Path, so the emphasis remains firmly on landscape, wildlife and quiet rural hospitality.
