The car is being packed and my harness is on, I just wonder where Mum is taking me today! After listening to the radio and Mum singing, we arrive. There’s a funny big white thing (a Lighthouse Mum just said).

We leave the car park and take the slope down to the beach below the Old Hunstanton red cliffs.

I can see the sea and, hold on, need to adjust my balance I thought my paws were sinking! Ah this is the life; thanks Mum.

We walk along and follow the path. There are some sections of Hunstanton South Beach where dogs are not allowed, however they are allowed on the Promenade. With the sound of the seagulls squawking and squealing I’m just busy trying to see what they are after.

A few miles past the fun fair the walk becomes calmer and quieter. Often it doesn’t matter what time of year, the sun makes an appearance and has a wonderful warmth.

Up ahead is the Hunstanton Ski Cafe & Bar which is dog friendly and has seating outside to look out to the North Sea. We’re not stopping here just yet. The next section is North Beach and this is dog friendly, which means I’m free. Mum checks around and I’m off – well not too far I don’t want to be too far away from the treats. I’m dancing and jumping and running. There’s a few other paws patrolling the beach too, we have a little chase, sniff and run on.

Once you reach Heacham it’s time to turnaround and walk back. We have a nice stroll along the beach and head up to the cafe for a water stop and warm drink for Mum.

I’m back on my lead and we walk on the Promenade back into Hunstanton. Hmmmm that smell of seaside food. Mum gets some fish and chips from Fishers and as she sits on a bench, I guard her from the Seagulls!

After, we walk up to the green and back along to the car park. There are more cafes along this route too.

There is an option to shorten this route. You can either park at the South Promenade Car Park (PE36 5BQ) or start your return earlier.

The best thing about this walk is you can take a stroll, sit for a bit and have lots of ball throwing and playtime too.
