Holme next the Sea sits on the north‑west Norfolk coast in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in Norfolk, England. The village is bordered by dunes, saltmarsh and the Holme Dunes nature reserve and looks out over The Wash, making it a notable spot for migrating and breeding waders and a windswept, conservation‑minded landscape of shingle beach and pine‑clad cliffs.
Locally it remains a small farming and seaside community with thatched cottages, a medieval church and a handful of amenities; the economy depends on agriculture and seasonal tourism such as birdwatching and coastal walking. The area has a visible history in coastal defence and wartime relics and carries memories of events like the 1953 North Sea floods, while active volunteer groups and the village pub and hall keep a strong community spirit.
