Eccles on Sea is a tiny coastal settlement on the North Norfolk coast in the county of Norfolk, England. It sits amid salt marshes and low dunes where the medieval village was gradually lost to the sea; earthworks and the footings of the old church still lend the place an evocative, windswept character that appeals to coastal walkers and birdwatchers.
Today the community is small and largely oriented towards tourism - static caravans, holiday cottages and a few local services - alongside traditional agriculture and some recreational fishing; socially it feels quiet and seasonal, with a close‑knit year‑round population that swells in summer. Its mix of wildlife-rich surroundings, remoteness and visible history makes Eccles on Sea typical of the distinctive character of the North Norfolk coast.
