Image of East Runton (Coastwatch Station) birding site

East Runton Coastwatch station is located at Beach Road car park and has great views of the beach, which is stony in places. Both the beach and surrounding cliffs provide feeding and nesting sites for seabirds and migrants and, at low tide, rocks that are used as a perch for cormorants.
