A Norfolk beach has been named one of the best-kept secrets in the UK.

The Telegraph has released its list of the UK's best secret beaches - and the sandy shores of Overstrand made the cut.

Writing for The Telegraph, Sophie Dickinson and Joanna Symons said: "At low tide, pools around the groynes provide superb crabbing and local crustaceans are forever being dropped into and tipped out of buckets.
