Cromer Pier
A Victorian seaside pier whose end-of-pier theatre still stages traditional British seaside variety shows. Visitors can fish for crabs from the pier.
Cromer Pier was built in 1901 and is one of the few British piers that still has an end-of-pier theatre. The Pavilion Theatre stages traditional seaside variety shows every summer, with Christmas shows in winter. At the end of the pier stands the lifeboat station, and visitors often fish for crabs from the pier with string. Walking the pier is free, but shows require tickets. The beach below the pier and the clifftop town are good for strolling. A visit pairs well with eating Cromer crab, a local specialty.
