Met a girl and her Malamute last week. She doesn't know many walks in the area so asked if we could walk together. The boys are very keen as sky is very pretty and plays rough :D

We are planning on a road trip to the coast with them all, and apparently Snettisham (East coast) has a good stretch of beach for dogs and a nature reserve on the way back to the car park.

Can anyone recommend or other?
 
The beach at Snettisham is good and there are lots of tracks in land as well if the wind off the north sea is a bit strong. Or you could carry on round the coast a little further and go to the AAD favourite of Holkham beach - miles and miles of sand for dogs to run on , and this time of year there may be a few less nudists out!

Holkham is fab but I do love Snettisham. Me and OH go on one of my all time favourite walks round there. But then we are quite keen (closet) twitchers! There are always loads of interesting birds and we have often seen barn owls hunting in day-time around the marshes.
It is difficult to describe the route our walk takes but we start at a car-park right on the coast then walk North so the sea is on our left up the sea wall. Keep looking to the right as that's where the barn owls are often seen as well as numerous species of goose and waders, including curlews. Eventually you see a lonely house set right back (it was derelict when me and OH first went to Snettisham but has now been restored). You sort of head towards it then through some woods and back to the lane leading to the carpark. You would need an OS map!
As an added interest, you often see the RAF training overhead.
It is all lovely round there - me and OH usually call in at Sandringham for a cuppa before heading home.
 
I was at hunstanton at the weekend with Rosie. We go up to 'old' hunstanton, which is just fab for dogs. Loads of dog walkers, easy to park and lots of pools for the dogs to play in. Rosie had a whole afternoon of fun and fell asleep in the back of the car before we'd left hunstanton lol.
