What is the Check in / Check out time?Check in is from 0930am, you will receive a key code via email so you can access the hut whenever suits you. We do not have a check out time, just note the car park opening times on arrival.
Check out your hut under the 'our huts' page, this will list everything your hut has included.
Please note that we can no longer guarantee beach toys, we have tried our absolute best but too many get broken/go missing. In order to continue to be able to offer single day hire with no check out time we have had decided to not replace any more once they have gone. We strongly advise you bring your own to avoid disappointment. The beach cafe also sells a selection of buckets and spades.
Wells Beach is split into two halves, a dog friendly side and non dog side. Huts numbered 1-37 are strictly no dogs in the huts or on the beach/sea opposite these huts. Any huts to the other side of this numbers 38-205 are dog friendly. All of our huts EXCEPT Upper Deck - No, 02 and Beach Hut - No. 11 are dog friendly.
Having a beach hut booked does not guarantee you a parking space. There is a pay and display car park on beach road, but it fills up very quickly in the summer months, usually by 09:30/10:00 it is full and you will be re-directed to the overspill carpark in Freeman Street, you can then either walk which takes about 40 minutes or take the Holkham bus there are also other additional car parks in Wells town and it is approx. 1 mile from here to the beach. For more information on parking please visit.

Every few years owners have to have their huts raised to protect them from the sand build up, most huts have about 8-12 steps to get inside them however there are a few that are lower and more accessible. The are the following:
Beach Hut - No. 11 - 6 steps
The Bear Hut - No. 89 - 6 steps
Grumpys - No. 104 - 3 steps
Surf Shack - No. 107 - 2 steps
Lazy Days - No. 108 - 4 steps
The huts are extremely close together so having any more than this simply isn't fair on neighbouring huts. This also includes inviting friends to join you at the hut/ on the beach in front. No more than 6 people (excluding children under 12) can be associated with one beach hut. We want everyone to enjoy their day on the beach and not have it ruined by large groups. 99% of the huts on wells beach are privately owned too, so the last thing we want as a company is to be upsetting other owners. Some of our huts have happy hut neighbours, so if you want to invite more people then we suggest you book two. A list of which huts have neighbours can be found below.
Poachers Hide (87) & Bear Hut (89)
Grumpy's (104) & Ebb & Flo (105)

There is no electricity, fridges or running water or toilets at the huts, there is a water container provided and water taps can be found in the car park, by the lifeguard hut by beach hut 41 and near beach hut 138.
There are public toilets at the car park and in the summer months in the pinewoods. The Beach Café by the car park is open all year round and there is an ice cream van in the summer.
Each hut is provided with a single ring gas stove and canister, in the winter months the gas runs very slowly so we wouldn't advise using the stoves to cook on in the colder months, October-March.

Wells tides can be quite extreme, at low tide the sea can be about a 15 to 30 minute walk from the huts however high tide never cuts you off. Occasionally on a super high tide it can come almost up to the steps on huts numbered1-10 but this is very rare! Tide times change daily, so if you're curious do check the link below before your visit..
