The Norfolk Coast Path{{cite web |url=http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/peddars-way-and-norfolk-coast-path/ |title=Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path |publisher=National Trails |access-date=9 June 2021}} is a long-distance footpath in Norfolk, running 83 miles (133.5 km) from Hunstanton to Hopton-on-Sea. It was opened in 1986 and covers the North Norfolk Coast AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). It is now part of the King Charles III England Coast Path.

It links with the Peddars Way at Holme-next-the-Sea, and the two in combination form the Peddars Way & Norfolk Coast Path National Trail, one of 15 National Trails{{cite web |url=http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/ |title=Home page |publisher=National Trails |access-date=9 June 2021}} in England and Wales. It links to the Angles Way and the Wherryman's Way at Great Yarmouth, and to both ends of the Weavers' Way, at Cromer and Great Yarmouth. In December 2014, the trail was extended to Sea Palling and forms part of the England Coast Path.{{cite web|title=Norfolk Coast Path inc England Coast Path|url=https://www.norfolk.gov.uk/out-and-about-in-norfolk/norfolk-trails/short-and-circular-walks/norfolk-coast-path|publisher=Norfolk County Council|access-date=9 September 2016}} In October 2016, the trail was further extended to Hopton-on-Sea.{{Cite web|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/news/walkers-to-enjoy-new-stretch-of-coast-path-in-norfolk|title=Walkers to enjoy new stretch of coast path in Norfolk|date=24 October 2016 |publisher=Natural England|language=en|access-date=9 June 2021}}
