WITH A BEAUTIFUL BEACH ON one side and the Norfolk Broads on the other, Winterton-on-Sea is a lovely little village with a big heart. Historically a fishing village, in days gone by you could buy fish from huts on the dunes of the beach. Although that’s no longer possible, fishing boats still go out from the village today.
Winterton Beach boasts rolling dunes and soft golden sand from which you can look out to sea and spot seals bobbing in the water. Wildlife abounds in Winterton-on-Sea: the endangered natterjack toad, for example, can be found in fenced off pools in the dunes, distinguishable by a thin, bold yellow stripe down its back. Designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, Winterton is also an excellent birdwatching site.
As for the people, few communities are as warm and welcoming. Locals Jeanne Farace and Rachel MacSweeney
