Anson Bay

Peace, Views and Golden Sand Beneath the Cliffs

Tucked below soaring cliffs on Norfolk’s west coast, Anson Bay is a peaceful, secluded beach that feels like a secret. A short walking track leads down through coastal forest to golden sand and sweeping ocean views. It’s a favourite for picnics, photography, and quiet moments by the sea.

A Hidden Surf Spot with a Sense of Solitude

Anson Bay is one of Norfolk’s prime surf spots, with a consistent break close to shore. But unlike busier beaches elsewhere, there’s no crowd here – just you, the surf, and the sea. While it’s not ideal for swimming due to strong currents and surf conditions, it remains a favourite for its raw beauty and connection to nature.
