Wells-next-the-Sea Quay & Town
Wells-next-the-Sea
The central town of the North Norfolk coast, where converted granary flats, fish-and-chip shops and fishing boats make up classic seaside charm.
Wells-next-the-Sea is the main town on the North Norfolk coast. Its landmarks are the old granary on the quay and the sailing boats moored alongside. The quay has fish-and-chip shops, seafood stalls and an amusement arcade, and you can catch crabs from the quay itself. Staithe Street in town has independent shops and cafés, and there is a wide choice of accommodation, making it a good base for exploring the coast. The beach can be reached on foot or by narrow-gauge railway, and local buses run along the coastal route.
