Cromer is a popular resort on the North Norfolk coast. The beach has a promenade behind and the town on low cliffs above. The designated bathing beach is sand and shingle, backed by sandy cliffs and close to the pier. Rock pools are revealed at low tide. The appearance of the beach can vary rapidly during storm events resulting in significant changes to the build-up of sand next to the sea wall.
