Lagoons on high tide becomes flat and shallow at low tides. It gets a little choppy as the tide comes in. Best at low tide when the sandbar emerges on the outside and the water is butter-flat. As soon as the tide creeps up towards the groynes it's time to pack up and head round to Old Hunstanton.

The beach is right in the town so there's all a wall at the foot of the beach. The sand can be a bit mucky at times but generally not bad. Theres a few shells but not enough to worry about. Plenty of launch space at low tide and usually somebody about to help. No beach at high tide.
