Snettisham is a coastal village and civil parish in King's Lynn and West Norfolk, Norfolk, England, sitting on the edge of The Wash. Its long beach, dunes, salt marshes and mudflats are important for wintering wildfowl and waders, so the area is popular with birdwatchers and those who enjoy quiet coastal walks.
The local economy is a mix of farming, small‑scale services and coastal tourism, with caravan and holiday parks along the shoreline and a compact village centre. Snettisham is also famous for the nearby Iron Age finds known as the Snettisham Treasure, and its combination of maritime scenery, wildlife interest and pockets of historic character draws visitors from King's Lynn and beyond.
