Brancaster is a pretty village full of flint and brick and chalk cottages, clustered around the coast road and is known for its simply stunning sandy beach. It stretches for miles and is backed by gentle sand dunes and the famous links golf course; The Royal West Norfolk Golf Club. Seals bask on the channels and children can safely paddle in the lagoons. When the tide is out it reveals the shipwreck of the SS Vina. The sand is perfect for building sandcastles and having picnics and kite surfers provide exciting entertainment on windy days. Parking is a few yards from the beach and anyone who walks that little bit further will be rewarded with their own private stretch of sand. The Ship hotel/pub/restaurant is owned by celebrity chef Chris Couborough and offers good food and ales, whilst traditional ice cream and lollies can be had from the booth on the beach. Wildlife along the coast is abundant and accessible, Marsh Harriers wheel overhead along with Avocets, Oyster Catchers and Terns. A trip would not be complete without tasting the famous Brancaster mussels, in season when there is an 'R' in the month. With Brancaster Staithe, the neighbouring village in walking distance, you can easily stroll along the coast path to buy fresh fish from the harbour where the fishing boats land their catch. Or head to two of the best dining pubs around, the White Horse with its stunning terrace with sunset views towards Scolt Head Island or the family-friendly Jolly Sailors. There is also a shop, petrol station and supermarket, artisan shops, Fat Face and pop-up shops here.
