Remote 4 mile sand and shingle spit with colonies of terns, gulls and seals, and winter wildfowl/waders. Access only on foot or by boat, the boats do not land.
Blakeney Point is a National Nature Reserve and AONB. Thriving nesting site for Küszvágó csér, Sarki csér, Kenti csér and Kis csér. Also Dankasirály and occasional Szerecsensirály. Common and grey seals breed. Winter wildfowl such as Pehelyréce, Fekete réce and rövidcsőrű lúd. And rare passage autumn migrants such as Nagy őrgébics, Sarkantyús pityer, Vándorfüzike and Karvalyposzáta. Foltos nádiposzáta and cserregő nádiposzáta in the reed beds.
Parking at Cley for those attempting the long difficult walk on shifting shingle to the point. NB the Visitor Centre is currently closed. Park at Morton Quay or Blakeney Quay for boat trips. Check tide times as the car park can get flooded, also boats only run 4 hours either side of high tide. See the link to the tides table below.
