If you've got access to a car, or don't mind hiring one then the best beach to visit by far is Holkham. It's my favourite beach in the UK and only an hours drive from Norwich. The beach was used for filming for Shakespeare in Love and the All Saints music video 'Pure Shores'. Stately Holkham Hall was also the setting for Keira Knightley's film The Duchess. This is not surprising, as the beach is breathtaking, and the sand seems endless after you've emerged from the board walks of the woodland track. The beach is one of the countries largest nature reserves, so fortunately there are no tacky shops around to ruin it's natural beauty. There are numerous sand dunes to explore and get lost in, and due to the sheer expanse of space, it never feels crowded. Sometimes horses gallop across the beach. I would recommend visiting Holkham not only in the summer, but on an autumn evening to watch the sunset, when if your lucky you can be the only one on the beach.
