Just north of Great Yarmouth, Caister-on-Sea offers a peaceful break from the busier seaside resorts nearby. With long, quiet beaches, a historic core, and good access to the Norfolk Coast Path, it makes a useful stopping point or base for walkers exploring the southern end of the trail.
This coastal village has ancient roots — once home to a Roman fort — and today blends local charm with modern conveniences. The dunes and sands here are ideal for easy beach walking, and the atmosphere is relaxed year-round. With nearby nature reserves and good public transport links, Caister is well placed for slow travel.
