Overstrand
Dog friendliness: Really good. Lots of beach and pretty quiet. Great for a walk to Cromer along the beach and back along the cliff top (or vice versa, depending on tides)
Restrictions: 1st May - 1st October there are restrictions for dogs on the beach between certain groins.
Access: Long concrete walkway down from the car park.
Facilities: Pay and display car park, toilets. The village also has a great little cafe - The Cliff Top Cafe and the Lobster and Crab shack; brilliant for fresh crab and lobster. The local pub - The White Horse - is very dog friendly and whilst it is a bit expensive a la carte, the bar food is very good and very reasonable.
Nearest to: Swallowdale, Rooster Barn and Farthing Cottage
What the locals know: I don't think they know anything that they are prepared to tell. It's a very elegant and quiet village with lots of historical houses.
An easy escape from the wonderful old fashioned sea side busy-ness of nearby Cromer!
