Cley next the Sea is a small coastal village on the north Norfolk coast in North Norfolk, Norfolk, England, set beside shingle banks and grazing marshes on the edge of the North Sea. It is best known for the RSPB reserve Cley Marshes and a photogenic windmill that overlook the saltmarshes and creeks, making it a magnet for birdwatchers, photographers and anyone who enjoys wide skies and coastal landscapes.
Historically a bustling medieval port that gradually silted up, the village now has narrow streets, flint cottages and a quiet harbour atmosphere. The local economy is driven by tourism, birdwatching, small-scale fishing and agriculture, and the community tends to be conservation-minded with a steady summer influx of visitors using pubs, cafés and holiday accommodation.
