The Steam Trawler Sheraton was built in 1907 for fishing and was later used for boom defence work during World War I and served as a patrol vessel in WWII, for which she was fitted with a six pounder gun. During a gale in 1947 she broke free of her mooring and drifted onto the beach at Hunstanton. Much of the Sheraton was salvaged but the bottom of the hull remains on the beach in the intertidal zone.

The iconic striped cliffs of Hunstanton were recognised as one of the UK's top geological sites by the Geological Society of London in 2014. The top part of the cliff is made of white chalk from the Upper Cretaceous era. Below this is a band of a limestone called Red Chalk from the Lower Cretaceous era formed over a period of 15 million years. Beneath that is Carrstone - which is a red-brown colour.
