Hunstanton, on the North Norfolk coast, had a population of around 4,400 at the 2021 census — a small seaside resort with an unusual claim among England's east coast towns.
Where the sun sets over the sea
Most English east coast resorts face the sea to the east, which means sunrises rather than sunsets over the water. Hunstanton's coastline curves round to face west, making it one of the few spots on this side of the country where you can watch the sun set over the sea — a quirk that's drawn visitors for generations. The town's striped cliffs, bands of white chalk sitting on red-brown carrstone, are the other distinctive landmark, popular with geologists and photographers as much as holidaymakers.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Hunstanton's cliffs and its seafront don't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — that's simply not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Hunstanton shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online and having it delivered is the more consistent option — no trip into King's Lynn or Norwich required.
