Corton is a small coastal parish in East Suffolk, Suffolk, England, sitting on the North Sea just south of Lowestoft and close to the border with Norfolk.
Historically tied to fishing and farming, the parish now has a strong seasonal tourism economy with dunes, a sandy beach and several caravan and holiday sites that swell the population in summer. It retains a historic parish church and a close‑knit community, while the shifting coast, sea defences and local wildlife make the area of interest to walkers, naturalists and anyone curious about the changing East Anglian shoreline.
