Horses on Brancaster Beach
We do not recommend Brancaster Beach for horse riding or exercising of horses. The entrance to the beach is extremely narrow with many people choosing to sit there. This poses a risk to the safety of all beach users in this area, especially with the unprecedented number of visitors Brancaster Beach is experiencing at this time.
