There is also a popular land train in Hunstanton Town which runs regularly through the summer months carrying visitors up to the Old Hunstanton lighthouse and back again.
The bustling high street and surrounding shopping area offers a great variety of shops, restaurants and bars.
For a quieter village atmostphere visit Old Hunstanton which can be reached within an easy walk from Hunstanton. The village offers traditional British pubs and a much slower pace of life in general.
