It offers a wide range of culture and leisure facilities including a theatre, concert hall and arts centre, as well as an indoor swimming pool and excellent sporting and fitness facilities at Lynnsport & Leisure Park.
The surrounding countryside is attractive and the coastline is an "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty". Sandringham Estate, the King's Norfolk home, is approximately mid-way between King's Lynn and Hunstanton. Together with other large estates, such as Holkham, it is a major tourist attraction.
