Wells-next-the-Sea Beach Huts

From the sweeping sandy beach bordered by pinewoods and colourful beach huts; around the bustling harbour where you’ll find children crabbing on the quay opposite the finest fish & chips on the coast; to the pretty leafy green known as ‘The Buttlands’ with its warm & welcoming taverns – Wells is the perfect, family-friendly seaside destination.

Wells-next-the-Sea is situated in the heart of the North Norfolk coast – a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with over 40 miles of glorious beaches, unspoiled landscapes and protected wildlife habitats.

Once an important commercial seaport and manufacturing town, now a popular seaside destination, Wells is still a working fishing port where you can watch the boats unload their catch.

The quay is a favourite spot for crabbing – or gillying as it’s known locally – with families lined up along the harbour wall from dawn until dusk. Hungry visitors are well served with two fabulous fish ‘n’ chips shops right on the quay.

Wells is famous for its stunning beach – complete with scores of colourful beach huts – that is, without doubt, one of the best in the country.
