Wells next the sea
Not quite on the sea, but sitting on an estuary, Wells has narrow streets lined with traditional flint buildings. While on the green (The Buttlands) is a series of Georgian houses. A little railway takes visitors from the port to the nearby sandy beach.
Wells-next-the-Sea has a beach fringed with pine trees and provides a beautiful walk round to the flat expanse of sand that is Holkham Bay - this is the beach that Gwyeneth Paltrow appeared on in the last scene of the film Shakesphere in Love. The beach of Wells is situated a half-mile from the port and town and can be approached by car, on foot or by the small railway that runs from the town to the beach. The town has a mixture of quayside work and holiday bustle, but the area around the green still provides a wonderful Georgian elegance.
