Overstrand Cliffs is a 57.8-hectare (143-acre) biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Cromer in Norfolk, England.[1][2] It is a Special Area of Conservation[3] and part of it is a Geological Conservation Review site.[4][5]
These soft cliffs are subject to falls and slumping, providing a habitat for species associated with disturbance such as the rare beetles Bledius filipes, Harpalus vernalis and Nebria livida. The cliff is geologically important for its succession of Pleistocene glacial exposures.[6]
The beach is open to the public.
