Norfolk coastline is varied and interesting, instead of seeking out the pleasure beaches and spots that are a bit more overcrowded we tend to seek the more secluded spots. We stumbled upon Overstand with only a cafe and a crab hut selling freshly prepared crabs and lobsters and that was it! bliss.
The beach was a mix of sand and stone, the kids were able to enjoy making castles and hunting for pretty stones, this beach had the added bonus of fossil hunting to and yes we found some fossils all inside large lumps of chalky stone that were being washed up on the beach as the tide slowly slipped away, down the long shallow beach.
We were here for a few hours and saw very few people as you can see from the pictures and the atmosphere was wonderful before lunch time as the sea mists rolled around the cliff edges making the temperature fluctuate as the sun battled to break through the swirls of mist and fog.
Finally we could not leave with out trying out some of that fresh crab caught that morning and freshly prepared just for us
the beaches look wonderful, its a part of the coast I've never explored
