    Hunny is the epitome of English seaside resorts. When I visit friends and family at nearby Heacham, you'll find me there often, with my missus, just watching the sunset with fish & chips in hand. Hunny is definitely sweet, Tim.👍

    The pier has long gone. It was a rotting dangerous heap back in the 60s. Me and two school pals wandered on to it one blustery night and a bench seat gave way and swung out over the churning waves with young Mickey hanging on for his life. A real close call 😁

    I went last year for the first time in many years. It was a birthday treat to myself and i took my dog. We walked for hours collecting shells and pretty stones. He loved running through the rock pools and eating crabs. I plan to go back in a week or 2 and make it a yearly tradition. Cheers for this video as it was perfect timing with some great memories.

    Hunstanton has always been lovely, my family have been going there since the 1980s. Lovely seafront with fish and chips, donuts and icecreams, with the fairground rides and amusement arcades, and some nice little shops, including souvenir shops and The Joke Shop. Very pleasant seaside town, I went there today with my sister and we loved it. Lots of people eating fish and chips and enjoying themselves. It kept raining but we dodged the rain with the brolly and kept our spirits up with tea and fish and chips. Lovely town.

    Excellent vlog as always. Love Hunstanton, it's our nearest seaside, 102 miles from here. Have fond memories of visiting with my late parents in the 80's and going to the Princess Theatre and then with my own children in later years. We were last there in April for my daughter's birthday and as you say it's not changed over the years.

    An excellent video and commentary on what makes Sunny Hunny such an ideal holiday or day trip destination! There really is a little something for everyone. I've been holidaying there for over 40 years, and it works its magic every time. Lovely fresh air, beautiful walks on the beach or promenade, catching those stunning sunsets. I always return home feeling refreshed and relaxed. Wonderful memories of this lovely resort, and long may it last 👍

    We live near Blakeney & we did several holidays in Hunstanton whilst my dad was dying from a brain tumour. It's was the only place I could go pick them up from their home, drive them there then go fetch my wife & kids so we could all go together.
    We stayed at the Park Resort site next to Searle's which is really nice, nice indoor & outdoor swim outside pool.
    Love Hunstanton & now have some very fond, dear memories of all of us there, the grandkids & my parents Foster kids on rides & the sealife centre before my dad got too ill to leave the house.
    Hunstanton was also the closest beach growing up & spent many an hour there & stuck on the old chicken run A149 as it was then.
    Thanks for this Brought back some great memories

    Your review is spot on. Hunstanton doesn’t seem to have changed much in all the years I’ve been coming (a running joke is that neither have some of the shop window displays, but that just adds to its charm!) I think it holds a special place in people’s hearts from when they used to visit as a child, and I used to love the joke shop, though as you observed its now less jokes and more naff adult toys! Despite it becoming rather tired and run down in recent years, the last time I visited it was clear that quite a bit of money has been invested and it was looking rather splendid. You can’t go to Norfolk without visiting Sunny Hunny for a stick of rock and some chips!

    Thank you for the great video and the memories. I lived in Hunstanton for 9 years .I left in 2000. You are right it doesn’t change much at all. Just the odd shop closes with a new one to take its place. I used to work in a fabulous tea room where we sold delicious cakes and fantastic bread with a small tea room attached called The Corner House. All gone now. Also a little shop called “Spellbound” such great memories in Hunstanton. It’s lovely to see it again...I’m going to have to pay it a visit very soon. Thanks again. 👍

    I went to high school in Hunstanton, and was in a Christmas show at the princess theatre when I was 9 years old. I’m in my late 50’s and Hunstanton still looks the same as it did when I was a kid. It lost its pier in a storm in 1978, the original pavilion burnt down in 1939.
