About the spot

Old Hunstanton faces the Wash and reveals broad sands at lower tide. It is an established tuition and freeride venue, distinct from the narrower main beach in town.

A suitable session depends on both wind and available beach space. Check where you will land later and how the tide will change during the session.

Access & local notes

Keep lifeboat access clear. Spring high water leaves little beach; avoid cliffs and stakes revealed by the ebb.
