Stroll, Discover, Sail, Shop, Play
Adventurers can explore the pristine coastline and beautiful seaside villages by foot all the way up to Winterton-on-Sea or down to Hopton-on-Sea. Journey 3 miles south to take in the action at nearby Great Yarmouth, a renowned holiday destination for the Victorians that still offers fun and thrills for all ages. For active souls the local area boasts a wealth of sports and leisure activities, including the Marina Leisure Centre and the Great Yarmouth & Caister Golf Club.
Steeped in history
Burton Cove is named for the Charles Burton, one of the last sail powered lifeboats commissioned at Caister-on-Sea’s heroic volunteer lifeboat station (one of only three independent stations in the whole of the UK). And there’s plenty more history to celebrate, dating from the Castra Roman fort, to the origins of Shakespeare’s infamous Falstaff at Caister Castle.
