Eastern Region's Holkham Beach Day
This event is open to the public.
Holkham, on the north coast of Norfolk, is one of the best sandy beaches in the country and has long had a naturist section towards its western end. It's a very gently shelving beach so the sea goes out a long way and there's plenty of room for everybody. BN Eastern Region will be there for the beach day from late morning onwards, we have chosen the date so that the high tide will be at about 09:00 so it will be well out for the whole day, with the low tide being at about 15:00.
There was a period in 2013 where we lost the official use of this beach although it was regained after much work by BN. The official naturist area is below the high-tide line. Natural England, who manage that section of the beach, have asked that we keep within the designated area. The official area should be marked by signs on the beach. Please do not use the dunes at the back of the beach or the area outside the signs.
Our position will be marked by the BN Eastern Region feather flag and an orange beach tent, and we hope by a big group of people enjoying beach games in the sunshine.
This map (from Open Street Map) shows at the red star the turning into Lady Ann's Road, which is the car park for the beach (pay-and-display). It is opposite the Victoria pub, so the postcode NR23 1RG will get you to the turning. The blue star is where you will park if the car park is not too full, then there is a walk to the beach which starts roughly at the black star. It is possible to walk along the beach, or for easier walking go along the path behind the beach past the holiday cottage to the crossroads and then turn right for the beach.
We hope to see you there!
