Overstrand is a small coastal parish on the North Norfolk coast in North Norfolk, Norfolk, England, perched on chalk cliffs overlooking the North Sea between Cromer and Mundesley. The shoreline alternates cliffs, shingle and sandy stretches and draws walkers on the Norfolk Coast Path as well as birdwatchers and people keen on sea views and occasional seal sightings.
Historically it prospered as a late-Victorian and Edwardian seaside retreat, so the village has a mix of period villas, holiday cottages and modern homes; today tourism and a significant retired population shape the local economy alongside nearby farmland. There’s a strong community feel with local amenities and events, while ongoing coastal erosion and associated sea-defence work remain important issues for residents.
