North Norfolk's best beach has been revealed after a public vote.

West Runton was crowned this year's Battle of the Beaches winner after beating its runner-up Wells with 1,099 votes to 1,015.

It also won in 2023 and came second in 2022.

Over the summer months, beaches across the region are pitted against each other in a series of social media polls.

The beach with the fewest votes in each round is eliminated until one comes out on top.

West Runton is a Blue Flag beach, meaning it meets Keep Britain Tidy's standards for water quality, water safety, beach cleanliness and provision of local amenities such as public transport and toilets.
