Wells Beach

About this park

Wells Beach, located in Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk, is a picturesque expanse of sand backed by charming candy-coloured beach huts and pine woods. It's an ideal spot for year-round visits, offering vast open spaces for dogs to explore and paddle. During autumn, winter, and spring, the beach stretches for miles, reportedly even allowing a walk that connects to Holkham Beach, where you can find The Lookout for refreshments before returning through the pinewoods. The scenery is truly breathtaking, promising a memorable experience for both you and your canine companion. Dogs are warmly welcomed on Wells Beach, making it a fantastic destination for sandy paws and shallow paddles. However, visitors should be aware that a small section at the eastern end of the beach is designated dog-free. Additionally, at certain times of the year, usually to protect ground-nesting birds, dog owners may be asked to keep their dogs on a lead, particularly in the area closer to Holkham Beach. Maps and further details regarding these restrictions are available on the official website to ensure a respectful visit for all. Parking is available at Beach Road car park (NR23 1DR), with charges applying. If this car park is full, visitors will be directed to Wells Town Car Park, which is about three-quarters of a mile from the beach, with a bus service available. The Wells Beach Café, situated conveniently between the car park and the beach, offers a variety of hot and cold drinks, snacks, and their famous sausage rolls, making it a perfect spot for refuelling before or after your beach adventure. Toilet facilities are also located near the cafe. For those looking for an extra special day, beach huts are available for hire to provide a comfortable base.
