Hunstanton (Sailing Club)
Long sandy beach. Water up to sea wall at spring highs and a bit of a walk at low but not too bad.

Fairly safe. Groynes to avoid at higher tides but not a big prob.
Reserved parking spaces for wsurfers, kiteys & dinghy sailors with slipway to beach adjacent. Pay & display £4.50 (2006) per day (£2.25. out of season). Refreshment stand adjacent (now open all year), bogs adjacent all-year. At low tide shallow for a long way so suitable for all levels. Sandbank to be avoided at low tide. All usual sea-side amenties a short walk away during season and quite a lot of shops open off-season. Chalets adjacent with tea making and allocated parking to set up HQ for a few quid more, ideal for non-watersports family & friends.

The sailing club is where it says Hotel on the map. The square box on the
beach is the rebuilt pier head which is adjacent,

hunstanton Fact File
kitesurfing at hunstanton is awesome all the same directions of wind apply
as to windsurfing it is great for flat water kiting and is shallow so u can
stand it most times(dependant on tides) when the tide is high it can be a
bit dangerous for the novice as there are groins on the beach,but at low
tide there is loads of beach to launch from,it is a very popular spot for
kiting now and can have up to 30 kites out on a busy day,loads or shops and
amenities close by so the partner will not be bored whilst your
kiting,there is parkin on the sea front but the parking in front of the
sailing club is for members only,sailing club is great all very freindly
hunstanton takes around 2.45hr drive from birmingman but well worth a
visit,there is also a kitboarding shop there called Oceanside for any
spares u may need and also superb B&bs and camp sites nearby
alternativly you can travel 5 mins round the corner and kite at old
hunstantan with parking at the top of the beach behind the sand-dunes so
you have a choice of 2 spots
