Deep History. Sheringham beach is NOT dog friendly during the summer months. It is a very busy beach when the tide is out, so it's best to avoid this one if you have dogs. There are plenty of other dog friendly beaches which you can read about here. Great for a drink after a day on the beach too as it has a beer garden at the back. East Cliff car park is a good one if you are going to the beach although, as the name suggests, it is at the top of the cliffs!
But it looks down onto the beach. The other large car park is Station car park which is adjacent to the North Norfolk Railway. This would involve a min walk to the beach. There is also a very small car park almost on the promenade, but this fills up very quickly. It's right by the Mo Sheringham museum. They are unspoilt small dog friendly beaches, ripe for fossil collecting and rock pooling. Book your stay. Refine your search.

At one time there were over fishing boats based in Sheringham - even though the town has never had a harbour. Overcrowding forced some to move to Lincolnshire. There are still a small number of fishing boats left today and you can see them hauled up from the sea on the beach or on ramps.
The Fisherman's Heritage Centre, situated along the Promenade, is a small free museum limited opening times , dedicated to Sheringham's fishermen and the building houses a sailing and rowing lifeboat from called the Henry Ramey Upcher.

The Henry Ramey Upcher Lifeboat. Sheringham has had a long association with the sea. The story of the town, its historic fleet of lifeboats and its fishing fleet, is told in a new museum called The Mo. The name Mo comes from a little girl who lived in Sheringham over years ago and the museum tells her story and those of other Sheringham people. The museum itself has several lifeboats on display, re-created shops and plenty of displays. One of the highlights of the museum is a viewing gallery, set high above the building, giving fantastic views over the town, sea and countryside.

Sometime during the 19th century, local tradition says the bodies of twelve sailors were washed ashore near Sheringham, after a huge gale in which their ship sank. The sailors were not given a proper burial and their bodies were thrown into a ditch near a gap in the cliffs.
The grave was covered with a great heap of stones and shingle. Locals say that if anyone visits the grave at night during a storm, they will hear the sound of stones being thrown onto the grave, just as they were more than a century ago! The streets of Sheringham are colourful and bustle with people in high summer. As well as the main street, there is also plenty of alleys and courtyards to explore, leading to hidden shops, restaurants and pubs.
