Winterton-on-Sea, Coastal village in Great Yarmouth, England
The village extends along miles of pale sandy beaches backed by extensive dunes, forming part of a National Nature Reserve.
First documented in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Wintretona, the settlement began as a winter fishing base for East Somerton farmers.
The Holy Trinity Church stands at 132 feet tall, serving as a navigation landmark for local fishermen returning from sea expeditions.
The village offers accommodations, a post office, local stores, and a fish and chip shop within walking distance of the beach.
Between November and January, Atlantic Grey Seals migrate to the beach to give birth, creating a natural spectacle for visitors.
