Welcome to Brancaster Staithe

The harbour village in the parish of Brancaster, North Norfolk

Brancaster Staithe is a working harbour village on the North Norfolk coast, known for its sailing, seafood and wide open salt marsh. The village sits on the coastal path and looks across to Scolt Head Island, with tidal creeks, wildlife and big skies that change with every tide. Fishing boats, mussel and oyster farmers, paddleboarders and sailors share the harbour throughout the year. The village is part of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a favourite stop for walkers, birdwatchers and anyone exploring the coast. Whether you’re here for a walk, a meal, a day on the water or simply to enjoy the views, this guide brings together everything happening in and around Brancaster Staithe.
