Hopton-on-Sea is a quiet coastal village marking the southern end of the Norfolk Coast Path, just beyond Gorleston. It’s a fitting finale (or gentle beginning) for long-distance walkers — with grassy cliffs, wide sea views, and a slower pace that contrasts with the livelier towns to the north. The beach is narrow and backed by cliffs, but there’s easy access to clifftop trails and quiet lanes.
Although primarily a holiday village with a few resorts and caravan parks, Hopton has a tranquil feel and makes a restful final stop on a coastal walking holiday. From here, you can extend your journey into Suffolk or simply enjoy the last coastal views before turning inland.
