Morston is a tiny coastal village in North Norfolk, Norfolk, England, sited at the edge of the Blakeney estuary and within the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its quay at Morston provides the main embarkation point for boat trips to Blakeney Point to see the seal colony, and the surrounding salt marshes, creeks and wide skies make it a magnet for birdwatchers, photographers and small-boat sailors.
With a long maritime past as a modest port, Morston today relies largely on tourism, yachting and local services, with holiday cottages and a few working boats rather than heavy industry. The settlement retains a quiet, close-knit character and offers striking estuary views, historic houses and a strong sense of place that changes with the seasons.
