The coast at Cromer, Norfolk
This is the promenade and beach on the eastern side of the pier at the delightful seaside resort of Cromer on the north Norfolk coast. The town became a resort in the early 19th century, with some of the rich Norwich banking families making it their summer home. Visitors included the future King Edward VII, who played golf here.
The resort's facilities include the late-Victorian Cromer Pier (out of shot to the left), which is home to the Pavilion Theatre. As well as being a popular holiday resort it is perhaps best known for its crabs. Some of the fishing boats, together with the tractors used to get them in and out of the water, can be seen in the far distance along the beach.
