Nestled on the North Norfolk coast, it offers visitors a classic British seaside experience, with its sandy beaches, historic pier and colourful beach huts. The resort is also famous for delicious Cromer Crab, and its elegant Victorian architecture and narrow streets give it a nostalgic air, while its lively markets and independent shops bring life to the town. Cromer has a rich maritime history and plenty of stunning coastal walks nearby, along with other popular holiday spots, such as Mundesley and Sheringham.
DAY 1
9am Begin with breakfast
Get your bearings by taking a leisurely wander down the charming High Street, dwarfed by the impressive Parish Church.
You'll find a few inviting cafés tucked along this street that are perfect for breakfast. Try Buttercups, or The Jetty Café, both cosy spots serving breakfast light bites or a splendid Full English.
Tel (Buttercups) 01263 510 990
Tel (The Jetty Café) 01263 513 814
10.30am Stroll the Esplanade
Words: Jo Davies of Continuing along the High Street will bring you to Cromer's Esplanade, overlooked by beautiful Victorian buildings and colourful houses. You'll also find Cromer Pier, one of the few left in the world that houses a theatre. Take a turn around the historic pier before returning to the waterfront walkway and exploring Cromer's sandy beach, which stretches west. If you're in the mood for a brisk walk, you can get to East Runton Beach by continuing along Cromer Beach for about 20 minutes.

12.30 pm Lunchtime
There are lots of excellent lunch spots in town, but it won't be a coastal getaway if you don't have chips! Head to No.1 Cromer, which offers fish & chips to take away for fair-weather dining, or an indoor restaurant serving seaside favourites with ocean views.
