Cromer's crab boats.. The town is famous for the Cromer crab, which forms the major source of income for the local fishermen. The town had grown up as a fishing station over the centuries and became a year-round fishery, with crabs and lobsters in the summer, drifting for longshore herring in the autumn and long-lining, primarily for cod, in the winter, when weather permitted. The pattern of fishing has changed over the last thirty years, and it is now almost completely focused on crabs and lobsters. At the end of the 19th century, the beaches to the east and west of the pier were crowded with fishing boats. Now, about ten boats ply their trade from the foot of the gangway on the east beach, with shops in the town selling fresh crab, whenever the boats go to sea.

Time for the lesson

The Glide Surf School is based in Cromer, Norfolk, UK and has been running since 2007. The surf school runs 7 days of the week, from 1st May to 31st October with lessons taking place at the east side of the pier. @ Glide Surf School Cromer is an inconsistent beach break on the North Norfolk Coast. Mostly the surf breaks on the left and/or right side of the pier. The spot works best on a mid to high tide on the push. Generally a northerly or a north westerly swell will produce waves. The pier does provide a little shelter from the wind. As with many surf spots around the North Norfolk coast rips can be particularly bad.
