Morston is a small village made up of a number of quiet lanes and a cluster of cottages built from local cobbles.  Its a popular place for boating enthusiasts, who sail the local waters from the quay. This puzzle of creeks and pools of salt marsh that make up Morston Marsh is under the care of the National Trust. The beautiful coastline of North Norfolk invites such pursuits as rambling, fishing, bird watching or just relaxing. Morston Marsh attracts many wading and over-wintering birds such as redshank, Brent geese, shelduck, wigeon and teal.

In summer months these marshes are a blaze of purple sea lavender. There are some delightful walks - along to Blakeney or out along the creek, though it is important to watch the tide, and wellington boots are recommended. The seal population at Blakeney Point can be visited by boat from Morston or Blakeney. The boats leave daily at varying times, according to the tides from April to October.

During the season you will always find an ice-cream van and normally a shell fish bar on the quay and in the village itself a good local inn.
