It enjoys the classic North Norfolk mix of shingle and sandy beaches, dunes and coastal paths and lies within easy reach of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; walkers and birdwatchers are drawn to the stretch of coast and nearby reserves. The village is also close to the site where the West Runton mammoth remains were found, a notable local palaeontological discovery.
