There is more to Snettisham than the famous race track, with it being home to one of the 5 secret beaches in Norfolk. It is a shingle beach, but don’t let that put you off, this is a beach which hosts one of the best spots to view the sunset as it goes down on our beautiful region.

Holme Beach
Just a walk over the famous Holme golf course and over the dunes you will find one of the 5 secret beaches in Norfolk.
