Walking Holidays and Stays in Hemsby

Clifftop paths, sandy beach walks, and a classic seaside atmosphere on the Norfolk Coast Path

Hemsby is a lively coastal village and holiday destination that marks the southern end of the Norfolk Coast Path’s most remote stretch. Just south of Winterton-on-Sea, it blends wide sandy beaches and clifftop walking with a more developed seaside character — a contrast to the wilder dunes just to the north.

Popular with families and summer visitors, Hemsby offers plenty of places to eat, stay, and stock up, while still connecting walkers to quiet countryside lanes and sweeping coastal scenery. Whether you’re ending a stretch of the trail or passing through on a longer walking holiday, it’s a convenient and friendly place to pause.
